Ask a Lawyer: Legal Q&A for Artists

Join us for a free, relaxed legal Q&A session for artists of all disciplines. Bring your questions about contracts, copyright, getting paid, collaborations, disputes, or the thing you’ve been too unsure to ask.

It’s a group session, so you’ll learn from everyone’s questions, not just your own.

Tue, Nov 24 | 12 PM EST | Online /Register here

Send your questions in advance when you register; the lawyers will use these to prepare.
