With the recent increase in copyright issues and lawsuits, visual and performing artists need to be aware of copyright laws and the legal issues that may affect their practice and the presentation of their art work. This class will focus on copyright law, with a primer on some of the more pressing legal concerns for artists today, such as the distinction between ideas and expression, the use of appropriated images and text, as well as fair use. The class will refer to legal cases in order to illustrate key concepts.
This VLA workshop is open to artists, arts administrators, and serves as an introduction to copyright law for admitted attorneys.
This class will be taught by Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento, Esq., VLA’s Associate Director.
