About Me
- Paul Van Ness
- I moved onto a sailboat expecting to survive off my art. My sailing trip turned into an experience of displaying and selling my art in public. When I first arrived in St. Augustine, FL., the city had just begun letting artists display and sell their art without a permit. This was because an artist refused to pay for a permit because of his First Amendment right to display and sell art in public. He was arrested once he displayed his work. He was charged with trespassing. He won his case by citing Bery vs. New York. This was one of the first big cases where an artist won. The Supreme Court sided with the New York State court's decision. Artists are allowed to display and sell their art in public. No permit of any kind is needed. I sold my art in the Plaza De La Constitucion and met Greg Travous, the artist that challenged the city. He is now a good friend and mentor that has enlightened me to my rights as an artist. I started this blog as a resource for artists, cities and anyone interested in an artist's right to display and sell art in public.
