Who IS Art Buberhill?

That's the question raised in the Richmond Marquee (Volume 1, Issue 5), written and edited by Lisa Kotula. During this year's nomination and award process, Lisa contacted ART and requested an email interview with the editor, Arthur Buberhill. Pick up the latest issue of the Richmond Marquee and check out all he had to say about the ART Newsletter.

Thanks Lisa!
