Through the Artistic License Awards, California Lawyers for the Arts highlights the exemplary work of individuals and organizations in California who have contributed to the development of the arts in our state. It recently conferred an "Artistic License Award" on Senator Curren Price, Chair of the Joint Committee on the Arts, who was honored for his sponsorship of the Tax Checkoff for the Arts voluntary contribution option on state tax returns to help fund California Arts Council programs and for his support of arts education, including a recent hearing on the topic at the Capitol.
