commissioning of works of art. If the source of funding, applicable law
governing any particular project, or the expenditure of such funds

of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) shall be excepted,

publicly funded interior artwork, but the exterior of such facilities remain
eligible for artwork. Separate accounting shall be established for each
Town project.

placement, and installation of works of art. The works of art shall be
permanent, may be integral to the architecture, or may be placed in, on, or
