Sculptor Bridgette Mongeon wrote a report on Best of Artists & Artisans about the great help that federal legislation called the Artist-Museum Partnership Act would give her as an artist. Sponsored by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Robert Bennett (R-UT) the legislation would allow artists like Bridgette to receive a tax deduction at the fair-market rate for works of art she donates to museums to be shown. Currently artists can only received a tax deduction for the costs of the materials, while art collectors and others can receive the full sale price for their contributions.
