Art in Architecture Program

Art created for federal buildings has been an important American tradition for more than 150 years, since Congress commissioned artists such as Thomas Crawford, Horatio Greenough, and Constantino Brumidi to create paintings and sculptures for the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration (GSA) proudly continues this tradition by commissioning fine art for federal buildings and United States courthouses nationwide.

The incorporation of major artworks into the nation’s important civic buildings reflects our country’s strongly held belief in the worth of the individual and the value of creative expression. Such public statements of American culture are meaningful contributors to the vibrancy of our democracy.

GSA’s review and selection process for commissioning art follows guidelines developed over the past four decades. The agency allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction cost of new, or substantially renovated, federal buildings for funding works of art.

For each project, GSA relies upon a panel of experts, composed of the design architect, local and national art professionals, client and community representatives, and GSA staff, to assist in the commissioning process. This panel suggests appropriate media, reviews artists’ portfolios, and recommends a small pool of finalists. GSA evaluates this group, and awards the commission to the most suitable candidate, who develops a design concept. The panel and GSA review the artist’s concept, and once approved the final work of art is fabricated and installed.

Secretary Hilda L. Solis 185

Secretary Hilda L. Solis

A native of California, Hilda Solis served eight years as a member of the House of Representatives. She became secretary of labor in the Obama administration in 2009. She is committed to providing opportunities for working Americans, particularly during a challenging period of economic transformation.

I’m Hilda Solis. I’m the secretary of labor of the United States.

I grew up in the small town of La Puente, California, in the outer suburbs of Los Angeles. We lived in a working-class neighborhood, known for orange groves. My father and my mother were blue-collar workers, doing different kinds of jobs. My father was a man whom you could tell put a lot into whatever he did. All you had to do was look at his hands. He was smart and thoughtful, quiet and kind, and he taught his children that you need to be responsible and independent and work hard, and always to hold your family close and respect other people for who they are and the work that they do.

He was born in Arizona but, as a young child, was taken back with his mother to Veracruz, Mexico. He came up again to work as a young man and found a lot of hardship and discrimination. He ended up finding his way to Los Angeles where he met my mother at a US citizenship class. He always was so proud to be an American and to have things that were American—all of his cars were American-made. When he came home from work, we’d all go into the living room and watch the news. He was an avid learner, and he would read constantly and keep up with current affairs. When he was young and growing up in Mexico, he had a priest who saw potential in him and made an investment in trying to help him get his education, so my father was able to get a little Jesuit training. Mostly my father was self-taught. He’d talk about Socrates and Plato, and he could speak Latin. Now as an adult, I think that was all pretty amazing for someone who didn’t have a formal education.

My ideas about justice and public service came from my parents. When my father was a young man, people were coming out of the Depression,
