ART LAW SCHOOL

ART LAW SCHOOL: A SIX-WEEK COURSE

The focus of the ART LAW SCHOOL is to introduce the artist to the “must-know” legal and business issues that arise when making art. More importantly, this course will provide the artist with methods on how to set up and organize their practice; how to operate their practice; and how to protect their artwork and projects.

Topics Covered include:

• Business Entities & Employment Law: What Kind of Business?
• Intellectual Property: Copyright, Trademark, Right of Publicity
• Contracts, Agreements, Negotiation Strategies
• Fundraising: Donations & Public Purpose Projects
• Free Speech & Right of Privacy

This course is open to all visual artists, architects, filmmakers, and two and three-dimensional designers. The course starts October 10, 2012.
