In Memoriam

Eleanor Dickinson, Emerita Board Member of California Lawyers for the Arts, passed in February, 2017. Eleanor, who had served on the CLA board since 1987, was a consistent voice for artists' rights as a member of our Art Policy Committee. We will miss her generous spirit and passion for the mission and programs of California Lawyers for the Arts. Read a remembrance HERE.
A new Eleanor Dickinson Art website has launched on which you can see information about Eleanor and her art: https://eleanordickinsonart.com |
