Law for Artists with Michael Jones
July 12, 6:30-8:30pm, $50

This fascinating and informative seminar on art law is meant for all visual artists including painters, photographers, illustrators, print makers, sculptors, craftspeople, graphic designers, gallerists and patrons that support them. Law for Artists introduces the art community to the legal issues of both art in commerce and artists’ rights. This user-friendly seminar is designed to identify and address the sequence of issues that arise as soon as the artist contemplates creating a work of art, including copyright and contracts. While you might not seek to earn a living from displaying their works or what Andy Warhol referred to as being a “business artist,” you must be capable of resolving business and legal issues. This compact program increases awareness of the key legal concerns pertaining to art, helps avoid risks, and gain benefits.
