One of my favorite non-profits, the Washington Lawyers for the Arts has just launched a blog called SPARK.  The blog is targeted at both artist and lawyers and covers topics including basic of law and events in the community.  WLA is looking for guest bloggers, this is a great way to share your knowledge with the community and promote your practice.  I co-authored one of the first posts, which was a Creative Commons Q&A from an earlier CLE I spoke at.
Here is the official press release:
A SPARK IS BORN!
Washington Lawyers for the Arts is delighted to announce the creation of our new blog. It’s called Spark, and you can find it at  www.thewla.org/blog. Spark brings you the latest WLA news and information, as well as art-law news you can use from our team of super-sharp attorney bloggers. WLA is committed to making legal resources available to artists and arts organizations of all disciplines. With Spark, we’re taking that mission into the blogosphere!

Right now on Spark, you can read up on Creative Commons licensing basics, find out what’s playing on our new Executive Director’s iPod, and discover why The Dudley Manlove Quartet thinks  “We Built This City” by Starship is the Worst Song Ever. We have big plans for our little Spark, which include posting podcasts of our Art Law Workshops, so check back often.

WLA would like to give a gigantic e-thanks to the following people, without whom Spark would have fizzled. Brooks Peck, our webmaster, designed the blog; Kate Bullock designed our sparkly new Spark logo; Brian Rowe of Freedom for IP advised us on the basics of blogging; Kristina Ringland of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati drafted our Terms of Service; and Cristin Fenzel pulled it all together. Thanks a million for your generous gifts of time, talent, and enthusiasm.

Are you an attorney interested in blogging for Spark, or an artist with a great story about help you received at one of our Arts Legal Clinics? We would love to hear from you at director <at> thewla.org.

It is great to see more of the local legal community blogging!
