Public Policy
As members of their communities, architects are professionally obligated to use their knowledge, skill, and experience to engage in civic life.

Supporting Position Statement:
2 - ART AND ARCHITECTURE

EXISTING LANGUAGE:
The AIA supports public and private building programs that include an appropriate budget for art. The integration of art should be an early and essential part of the design process, so that art can be fully coordinated with architecture. In support of this premise, the AIA recommends continued government federal funding for the arts through programs administered by the National Endowment for the Arts.
