HI HB2593

Establishes a pilot program under the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to create authorized urban art on state-owned property.

Requires the Foundation to develop procedures in consultation with relevant state departments addressing artist selection, site designation, art guidelines, copyrights, access limitations, and other considerations.

Mandates review of urban art proposals by the historic preservation division to ensure no negative impacts to historic properties, with written non-concurrence preventing authorization.

Defines "urban art" as paintings and artistic works including murals, mosaics, and stencil art, explicitly excluding signage and graffiti as defined in Hawaii Revised Statutes.

Requires the Foundation to report to the legislature by 2016 on the pilot program's status with findings and recommendations for continuation, and repeals the program on June 30, 2016.
