SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The AIA Program actively seeks to commission works from American
artists for public buildings. The GSA Form 7437, Art in Architecture
Program National Artist Registry, will be used to collect information
from artists across the country to participate and to be considered for
commissions.
The AIA Program is the result of a policy decision made in January
1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served on the Ad Hoc
Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-1962.
The program has been modified over the years, most recently in
2022, to align with Executive Order (E.O.) 14029 issued on May 14, 2021
``Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment,''
and to support E.O. 13985 issued January 2021, titled ``Advancing
Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the
Federal Government. E.O. 14029 revoked E.O. 13934 issued July 3, 2020,
Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. E.O. 14189 of
January 29, 2025 ``Celebrating America's 250th Birthday, revoked E.O.
14129 and reinstates E.O. 13934. As mandated by E.O. 13934, the AIA
program must prioritize the commissioning of artworks that portray
historically significant Americans or events of American historical
significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the Nation was
founded. Priority is to be given to public-facing monuments to former
Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and events relating
to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the
abolition of slavery. Such works of art are to be designed to be
appreciated by the general public and by those who use and interact
with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by GSA is meant to
depict a historically significant American, the artwork is required to
be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an
abstract or modernist representation.
With the implementation of the 2025 policy, the AIA program seeks
to commission works from the American artists that ``portray
historically significant Americans or events of American historical
significance or illustrate the ideals upon which our nation was
founded.'' In support of the AIA program's goal to commission the most
talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation's
important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those
artists. The National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity
for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for
commissions.
