Attention: Looking for Artists

The Arts Council has distributed a substantial sum to a good number of artists over the years, but is currently looking for information on the visual artists listed below in order to distribute California Resale Royalty Act funds to them or to their estates. Funds represent five percent of specific sales where the seller sent the royalty to the CAC in compliance with the Act and where the artist's name was known.
If your name is on the lists below or if you know how to contact any of these artists or representatives of their estates, please contact Patricia Milich at or call (916) 322-6385.
