What are the ingredients for a good love story? Willingness to protect to individual? Looking out for ones best interest? Copyright does that and more for the creative professional. It is a necessary companion for the success and livelihood of the working artist that extends that protection long after their career has past.
Please join the Somerville Arts Council and attorney, Ben Snitkoff from Modern Renaissance Legal, for a discussion of copyright and artist-gallery law in Massachusetts. Ben will give a starter course in protecting your work with copyright, the extent of those protections, and what how the laws in Massachusetts help you when you exhibit work in local galleries.
During the sessions the follow topics will be discussed:
Gallery contracts, record-keeping and rights
Artist payment rights
Artist Copyright Protection and what it means to you.
Sample contracts and additional resources will also be available at the session. You are welcome to bring related questions regarding your own work to the evening’s event.
