All Rights Reserved (workshop)
As an artist it’s often difficult enough to focus on refining your skills and practice, without having to worry about the business side of things. Legal issues can often be confusing and even thinking about negotiating contracts is daunting.
In this workshop you will have the opportunity to ask all your burning questions (and the ones you didn’t even know you should be asking) about copyright, moral rights, resale royalties, defamation, licensing artwork, and most importantly, how to negotiate effectively. Places are limited so that the time you spend with facilitator and lawyer, Priscilla Bracks, will be personalised and specific to you and your situation.
When: 2:30-5:30pm, 16 Feb
Where: Lab 2
Cost: Free
