Kansas City Volunteer Lawyers & Accountants for Artists

Kansas City has a group of people who (are/will) to work with artists on a "Pro Bono Legal & Accounting" problems.  I have spoke with them and had mentioned that we have members all over the state (MO & KS), and that was no problem for this group so far.

Please view their website at for the  Kansas City Volunteer Lawyers & Accountants for the Arts -  A thriving arts community contributes to a positive economic and social environment for all of us.
