In February on The Huffington Post, arts attorney Jonathan Melber suggested that President Obama, "...buck the stale tradition of very old, very realist portraits, landscapes and western stuff" and opt for contemporary art, made by living artists, for the White House.

Melber is in town tonight reading from his book, Art/Work--Everything You Need to Know (and Do) As You Pursue Your Art Career.
