WHAT: "PUBLIC ART LAW: FROM BRONZE SCULPTURES TO MURALS"
You have just been awarded a commission to create a bronze sculpture or a mural. Now what? An attorney, foundry owner knowledgeable in bronze sculptures and a muralist will discuss the legal issues and the nuts and bolts steps necessary for the artist’s successful completion of the project.
Speakers: Louis E. Greenwald, Esq., Sandy Decker (Decker Studios- Fine Art Foundry Services), and Emily Winters, Muralist.
*This workshop was made possible, in part, by a grant from the City of Los Angeles’ Department of Cultural Affairs.
Louis E. Greenwald is an attorney who practices employment, contract, and art law at the law firm Choi & Greenwald. Mr. Greenwald represents artists, art galleries, art foundries, and art appraisers. Mr. Greenwald has represented artists seeking payment for services and seeking to prevent the destruction and/or modification of their art.

Sandy Decker: DECKER STUDIOS FINE ARTS FOUNDRY SERVICES Sanford Decker is the Owner of Decker Studios Fine Arts Foundry, in North Hollywood, CA. Sanford has been a founder and sculptor for over 40 years, in which time he has executed numerous Public Arts Sculptures and Monuments nationally and internationally.

Group Names
I hope most of you have had a chance to recover from the show/graduation.
Congratulations to everyone!
As we move away from the structure provided by the institution known as OTIS, we will no doubt go through some structural changes of our own.
To help us grow as a community, we need a good name! Something identifiable, memorable, and hopefully easy to type.
Any suggestions?
