Display America's Art Act

This bill would create a program run by the Architect of the Capitol that lends art held in storage to Members of Congress for display in their offices. The art would come from institutions that own visual art collections and receive yearly federal funding, such as the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and the National Portrait Gallery. Only art not currently on public display could be loaned. The Architect and the lending institution would both have to agree that a piece is available and appropriate for display.
