§898. Establishment under Louisiana State Arts Council; crafts panel; logo; use
A. The Louisiana State Arts Council shall be responsible for administration of the juried Louisiana native crafts program and shall advise the governor, the secretary of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, and the assistant secretary of the office of cultural development relative to the program. To assist in administration of the program, the council shall utilize the division of the arts, as further provided in R.S. 25:900, and shall appoint a crafts panel.
B.(1) The crafts panel shall be composed of eight persons who shall be appointed by the council and serve at its pleasure. Four members shall be persons with demonstrated knowledge and interest in crafts as an artistic endeavor or designees of private or public entities for promotion of fine arts and shall include at least one professional craftsman and a designee of the Louisiana Black Culture Commission. The other four members shall be persons knowledgeable of the marketing of quality crafts or designees of such associations as the Louisiana Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers, the Louisiana Home Furnishing Association, and the Louisiana Crafts Council.
(2) The panel shall act as a quality control entity by advising the council as to which crafts are of such merit and proven consistency to bear the hallmark of the logo of juried Louisiana native crafts. Recommendations of the panel shall be based upon a process of selectively jurying crafts established by rules of the council. Additionally, the panel may accept on an annual basis any craft juried by the Louisiana Crafts Council and designated as a mastercraft provided that such craft has the potential to be marketed and distributed on a commercial basis.
C. The council shall be the sole authority to approve the use, and to disallow the continued use, of the logo assuring the quality of a Louisiana craftsperson's craft. Subsequent to such approval, the council shall, by contractual agreement, authorize the craftsperson to affix on each craft item a hallmark which shall be the approved logo signifying quality.
