A Commitment to Artists, at the State House<\/a><\/p>\n

“Legislators spoke about the power artists have. It\u2019s a power that, Rep. Cory Atkins said, artists don\u2019t talk about enough. Whereas a political issue of the day has a timely significance, the work artists do can transcend time \u2013 and be remembered. \u201cArtists go where politicians fail,\u201d she said. Recognizing that such power merits compensation, Rep. Sarah Peake shared that she is seeking to establish a commission to study and develop guidelines on how to compensate artists whose work is exhibited in public spaces.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
