Art law concerning mural painting?

[Patt Legg]

I have yet another question about the law and art. A friend of mine wishes to do mural painting in very elaborate and well-to-do homes. In requesting this, the company who constructed these elaborate homes near a 5 Star Resort told her she needed Contractors License and others to do this legally.

I never heard of such a thing myself. She claims that she took a test and passed (although she studied for 2 months and said it was tough)I am just real curious about this. Has anyone here heard of that? She claims that Virginia and Florida does not require such license other than maybe a business license.

If you know of a site to study such things, please let me know.

Thanks to all,

Patt
