New Orleans gets OK to enforce ban on selling art prints in Jackson Square

From The Times-Picayune

by Bruce Eggler, The Times-Picayune

A federal judge has cleared the way for New Orleans to enforce its law banning artists from selling prints on the sidewalks around Jackson Square.

U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle said the city is within its rights in permitting the display and sale only of works that "have been accomplished essentially by hand" and without the use of "any mechanical or duplicative process."

Although Lemelle had suggested three years ago that the city should adopt a "more narrowly tailored ordinance" than a total ban on prints, the City Council refused to go along with his idea.
