Event Summary

Best Practices in Rights Clearance: Symposium By and For Professional Visual Artists and Arts Lawyers

This symposium will bring together scholars, industry representatives, and visual artists for a lively discussion about when and whether rights need to be cleared when using the work of others.

During the networking reception to follow the event, student attorneys from the Arts and Entertainment Advocacy Clinic at Scalia Law will be available to consult one on one with attendees about copyright questions they may have, and to help them assess whether it might be fruitful to refer their matter for further advice to the Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts (or a Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts organization in their area).

If you are interested in a meeting, please let us know by e-mailing gmucopyrightclinic@gmail.com with a short description of the issue you are facing.
