Legal Basics for Artists, Academics, and Other Creatives

Laura Scudder Conference Room, Roosevelt Hall 121

 

Whether you’re an artist or an academic, it is crucial to know how to take care of yourself when it comes to negotiating deals and protecting your work.  How do you negotiate effectively for what you want?  Are written contracts always necessary?  Who owns creative content and how much copying is allowed before there’s a violation of copyright?  Join us for a fast-paced seminar exploring issues pertaining to contracts and intellectual property for creative people.  Experienced art attorney, Sarah Conley Odenkirk, will lead this 3-hour session on November 7, 2018 from 4-6:50pm.
