Well, the seminar was very interesting and the topics were on target. Thanks to the Arts Council of Fort Worth & Tarrant County along with the Texas Wesleyan School of Law for making the seminar available. Topics of discussion were Charitable Donations: Giving to Museums and Non-profits by Terri Helge; Intellectual Property Rights by Megan Carpenter and Brian Holland that addressed copyrights law; Employment Issues & the Arts by Susan Bruning; and Contracting: A Meeting of the Artistic Minds by Sergio Sarmiento.
Every artist should learn more about the law to protect themself. I did not walk away from the seminar an expert...far from it, but I will say that I am more aware of just how much I dont' know and the affect it can have on my business. I'm still trying to process what I learned, and I hope to share these nuggets with you...with the caveat, of course, that I'm not offering legal advise. After all, I did learn something!
