Our hope is that the affair will be groundbreaking in that it will allow a
forum for both artists and lawyers to commune and reach each other. It
is a mutually beneficial endeavor in that artists need lawyers for
protection of their work and rights, and lawyers need artists to keep
their business afloat as well as for inspiration. Appraisers and Auctioneers are warmly welcomed and encouraged to also attend!
