Artist Deduction Bill Introduced in the House
03-19-2007: After announcing at the Congressional Arts Breakfast on
Arts Advocacy Day that he would be the lead sponsor for the Artist
Deduction Bill, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) introduced the bill on March
14, 2007, joined by Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-MN). Identical to a Senate
bill introduced by Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Robert Bennett
(R-UT), the bill supports individual artists by allowing them to take
a fair-market value tax deduction for tangible works they donate to
nonprofit collecting and educational organizations, and it benefits
the public by giving them access to more art.
