discussion of arts and culture in and around Orange County, North Carolina

[Bob Joesting <joesting AT pobox.com>]

Folks,

   I am copying this email I have received to our list since it
is a very good resource for those interested in arts and the law.
I went to a version of this a while back and was impressed.
It provides a solid introduction and/or update on arts law for
lawyers but is quite comprehensible for those of us who have
never been to law school.  It is valuable for anyone in the
arts who wants to know about the law and a variety of areas
in the arts.
