Ok, Ricki, Count me in. So, what parameters should we use for choosing
artists to represent our states? Somebody who still lives and works there to
show the kids It Can Be Done and so it's not all "born there but now lives
in New York?" (of course that's different for someplace so close as NJ) All
women? Nationally famous or do we care? (I don't) Or an assortment of media
so we don't end up with all word-artists or all painters or (sigh) all art
professors? There are so many artists to choose from.
