Copyright 101 for Mural Artists

Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS), in partnership with Mural Routes, is offering a workshop on Copyright 101 for Mural Artists.

Copyright can get convoluted pretty quickly, which is why this copyright 101 session is going to be primarily scenario-based. The goal of the seminar will be to equip you with your own copyright toolbox: by walking through examples, you’ll learn when copyright can arise, the full scope of your rights and ways to monetize them, the default regime on who owns the copyright, and the relevance of moral rights. By grounding abstract concepts in real-world situations, you will be better equipped to ensure you understand the do’s and don’ts of copyright and be able to successfully navigate the world of copyright as a muralist in Canada.
