Legal Matters in Art: Contract Basics for Artists (CLE)

October 12, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Whether you are creating commissioned work, a musician performing a gig, a filmmaker licensing music, or any artist engaged in any business relationship, you are probably entering into contracts on a regular basis. But do you know how to create a contract, what terms are important, or how a contract may be unenforceable? In this class, we will provide an overview of contract law, including essential aspects of contract formation, enforceability, and standard contract provisions. Come to VLA’s Contract Basics to learn more about how to protect your rights, or how to advise your clients about their rights!

Continuing Legal Education: This program provides 1 CLE credit, approved for Non-Transitional and Transitional Attorneys.

Three-Part Workshop Series: Legal Matters in Art: Contract Basics for Artists is the second workshop in VLA’s Three-Part Series: Legal Matters in Art. Although not required, we encourage you to join us for all three workshops to get a full overview of the most important legal issues for artists.
