NEWPORT BEACH
The Laguna Art Museum has filed for arbitration with the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach over a disputed $150,000 interest payment after efforts to mediate the issue failed.

OCMA had held the endowment and the interest until earlier this year after a failed merger of the two museums.
