Hi everyone - just received this inquiry from the director of a small museum
here in town - I know this is a potentially hair-raising subject with
artists, but it looks like a good opportunity to educate one not in the art
field. I told her I'd field the question and get back to her - any
suggestions? Thanks.

Cindy
