The Washington State Legislature established AIPP in 1974 to acquire artwork for K-12 public schools, colleges, universities, and state agencies, funded by ½ of 1 percent of the state’s portion of construction costs. Shorewood’s artwork is now part of the more than 4,500 artworks the State Art Collection has sited where people study, work, and live.
