Fine Arts Protection Act of 2025
Fine Arts Protection: Review of Government Art Collection
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill requires a full review of the Fine Arts Program, which manages one of the oldest and largest public art collections in the U.S. This includes many famous works created under New Deal programs in the 1930s.
- Experts will survey every piece of art in the collection and estimate its total dollar value. They will also check if the current agency, the General Services Administration, has enough staff and money to keep the art safe and in good condition.
- Because the agency's budget and staff are being cut, the review will look into whether the art collection should be moved to a different government home. A final report with recommendations must be given to Congress within two years.
