Connecticut's Art in Public Spaces program was established by a state law requiring that not less than 1% of the cost of construction or substantial renovation of publicly accessible state buildings be allocated for the commission or purchase of artworks for that building. Since the program's inception in 1978, close to 400 works of art have been installed at 114 public locations throughout the state. The works represent a wide variety of media including glass, painting, photography, wall relief, fiber, ceramics, murals, and free standing, suspended and environmental sculpture.
