The Commission of Fine Arts reviews design proposals for public and private properties in the National Capital to affect the federal interest and preserve the dignity of the nation's capital. The agency's jurisdiction includes government projects, Shipstead-Luce Act projects, and Old Georgetown Act projects.
Government projects include planning for new government buildings, modifications to existing structures on federal or D.C. government property, and establishing or modifying parks and public spaces. This jurisdiction also covers installing artwork in outdoor public spaces and proposing major new public infrastructure like bridges.
Shipstead-Luce Act projects involve private property owners within the monumental and governmental core, much of the Potomac waterfront, and Rock Creek Park. These reviews cover new residential, commercial, or non-government institutional buildings, exterior modifications, and public space changes.
Under the Old Georgetown Act, the Commission reviews projects for private property owners in Georgetown involving new construction, exterior modifications, or changes to adjacent public spaces.
