consent of the senate from among citizens of Missouri who are widely
known for their professional competence and experience in connection with
the performing and fine arts. In making such appointments, due

balance of the unexpired term in the same manner as original

members of the council. (L. 1965 p. 314 § 2)
The chairman may employ, with the approval of the council, such

participation in and appreciation of the arts to meet the legitimate
needs and aspirations of persons in all parts of the state;
(3) To take such steps as may be necessary and appropriate to encourage
public interest in the cultural heritage of our state and to expand the

that may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. The
council may request from any department, division, board, bureau,
commission or agency of the state such assistance and data as will enable
it properly to carry out its powers and duties hereunder. (L. 1965 p. 314

The council is the official agency of this state to receive and
disburse any funds made available by the federal government for programs
related to the performing and fine arts. (L. 1965 p. 314 § 6)

of the state treasurer, two members of the senate appointed by the
president pro tem of the senate, two members of the house of
representatives appointed by the speaker of the house, and the members of
the Missouri arts council. Any member appointed due to such person's
membership in the senate, house of representatives or arts council shall
serve only as long as such person holds the office referenced in this
section. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in a manner
as provided by law. Subject to appropriations, moneys in the fund shall
