In the course of their career, visual artists often confront a number of legal issues ? and types of contracts ? involving copyrights, trademarks, and the rights of privacy and publicity. Join Attorney David Spatt for a workshop focusing on these issues including? a discussion of the various types of contracts you may use (or be used by) in your life. Learn the basics of how to protect your rights as an artist, how not to step on the rights of others, and how to avoid a lawsuit when you do.
