Please join us for a special opening event for Bushwick Open Studios Weekend, an annual arts festival created by Arts in Bushwick. A stellar panel of art lawyers will provide artists and anyone interested in art with the basics in copyright, fair use, and artist-dealer consignment agreements. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn and ask questions.  If you are wondering how copyright law protects your work, whether you can legally appropriate, and what a gallery’s legal obligations are to you -- with or without a written contract -- this is an event not to be missed! 

Moderator: 
Judith B. Prowda, Esq., Senior Lecturer, Sotheby's Institute of Art; Law Office of Judith B. Prowda, New York City

 Panelists:
Richard A. Altman, Esq. - Altman Law, New York City
Megan Maxwell, Esq. - Attorney, New York City
Carol J. Steinberg, Esq. - School of Visual Arts; Attorney in New York City and East End of Long Island

Jones Senior Center, curated by local artist Daryl-Ann Saunders for the June 1^st through 3^rd Bushwick Open Studios event, support the Center’s initiative as a vital community cultural center.
