Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that artists and related creative professions have high community value as cultural, social and economic assets. When they live and work in iden- tifiable districts the opportunity exists for capitalizing for the bene- fit of residents of the district and the community at large through enhancing quality of life and supporting elements of a tourism and artist economy. The legislature further finds that the cities of New York state have a long tradition of artistic creative activities and major artistic and cultural institutions including being the home to some of the world's major art museums and performing arts venues. The legislature further finds that collaboration between cities and the state offers the opportunity to establish viable and productive arts-based districts capable of becoming a model for cities and villages throughout the state. Therefore, the legislature hereby provides for an optional pilot program for the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Troy to establish arts-based districts in their cities. S 2. Article 16 and section 16.01 of the arts and cultural affairs law are redesignated article 17 and section 17.01, and a new article 16 is added to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
