42421
WHEREAS, Given their disadvantaged tax status many will no longer pursue their passion
in the arts if the current law remains in place; and
WHEREAS, S. 548 and H.R. 1524 (Artist-Museum Partnership Act) would establish a
criteria that would require artists to be given the same rights as collectors and arts patrons
who receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of artworks they donate to public
institutions; and
WHEREAS, The current law discriminates against hardworking artists, provides little to no
incentive for artists to donate their art work, and this inequality affects the artists personally,
professionally, and financially; and
WHEREAS, This proposed legislation would eliminate the tax discrimination that has been
in place for almost four decades and encourages art creators to donate work to museums
and libraries across the country, allowing everyone to benefit from the access to
contemporary art; and
WHEREAS, Since Chicago's early days protecting and allowing artists to grow has been
very important to the City of Chicago's political leaders, there has always been great pride
taken in protecting the city's heritage and safeguarding that generations to come would have
opportunities to learn from artists; and
WHEREAS, In 1894, Illinois Circuit Court Judge Lambert Tree and his wife, Anna, known
for being art enthusiasts, commissioned the Tree Studios which created an artistic
community, a place for artists to come and live with other artists; and
WHEREAS, This unique cultural oasis became a temporary home for many influential
artists, from author Edgar Rice Burroughs, to sculptor John Storrs, to painter John Singer
Sargent, to actors Burgess Meredith,and Peter Falk; and
WHEREAS, The United States Senate has recognized the need to further protect the rights
of artists by introducing legislation concerning the discrimination in 1999, the Senate has also
voted in favor of S. 548 five times over the past few years; and
WHEREAS, The Artist-Museum Partnership Act is a common sense step in protecting the
rights of artists and removing the inequality and discrimination that currently exists when
artists donate their works to public institutions; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved, That we' the Mayor and the members of the Chicago City Council, do
