Talk: Rights and Relationships: Key Legal Issues for Artists

I’ll be giving a talk tonight, Rights and Responsibilities: Key Legal Issues for Artists, at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, from 6:30 t0 8:30pm. Here’s a snippet on the topic below. For more information please view LMCC’s webpage here.

Property loss, compensation for lost or damaged property and recovery of property are just some of the issues that artists regularly face. These issues become more urgent in cases of natural disaster, such as Hurricane Sandy. This workshop will help artists understand common property issues in relation to their artwork, as well as how to develop professional relationships and written agreements that allow for the most productive working arrangements, now and in the future. Through this introduction to key property and contractual issues, artists will be better prepared to protect themselves and their property from unexpected events and acts of god.
