[TheForge] nonpartisan politics as it affects artists

Sat Jul 5 09:58:01 2003

Thanks Phlip, This (as I read it) doesn't apply just to museums.
It applies to ALL non-profit groups like fund raisers for your
local county or city art association, the fund raiser for your local zoo,
planetarium, public TV, kid's school, fill in the blank.
Thanks for following through.
