RE: S.R. No. 174
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts, to
which was referred S.R. No. 174 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE CAPITOL MODERN MUSEUM AND
STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS TO INCREASE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS, SONGWRITERS, AND PRODUCERS TO
SHOWCASE THEIR TALENT ON A PUBLIC PLATFORM WHILE FOSTERING
ACCESS TO ALL FORMS OF ART,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to encourage the
Capitol Modern museum and State Foundation on Culture and the Arts
to increase opportunities for artists, songwriters, and producers
to showcase their talent on a public platform while fostering
access to all forms of art, including fine arts, performing arts,
music, filmmaking, digital arts, literature, wood carving,
photography, and ceramics.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
Your Committee finds that in 1967, Hawaii became the first
state in the nation to adopt a percent-for-art law with the
enactment of the Art in State Buildings law, which designates one
percent of construction costs of new buildings for the acquisition
of works of art, either by commission or purchase. Your Committee
further finds that the Art in Public Places Program, supported by

the percent-for-art law, has enhanced the physical environment of
state buildings while providing educational experiences of visual
arts to the public. Your Committee concludes that student artist
internships, art education, and art programs are important
foundations to teach, train, eguip, and empower artists, encourage
local talent, and help independent producers grow their artistry.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting language urging the Capitol Modern museum and
State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to:
(A) Foster access to modern art and creative media;
(B) Prioritize educational, extracurricular, and career
development strategies for marginalized schools and
students;
(C) Collaborate with the Honolulu Community College
Music & Entertainment Learning Experience,
University of Hawaii-West Oahu Creative Media
Program, Creative Lab Hawai‘i, and Entrepreneurs
Sandbox; and
(D) Increase accessibility to art for youth through
performances, classes, and training; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts that is
attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent
and purpose of S.R. No. 174, as amended herein, and recommends its
adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 174, S.D. 1.
