In February, Mark posted about how Boise strip club Erotic City launched "art night" to exploit a loophole in a city ban on nudity that excludes performances with "serious artistic merit." The club distributed pencils and sketch pads so patrons could draw the nude models. Monday night though, police raided the bar and cited the dancers for misdemeanors. From the Associated Press:
"It's actually pretty clear in the city ordinance that there are exemptions for dance and theater and artistic merits, but the law also clearly states that the exemption does not apply to adult businesses," said police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower. "If it were an art studio and models were actually posing, that would be one thing. But these women weren't posing, they were dancing."
