Hustle: professional development for artists is a free program organized by ArtsMemphis, UrbanArt Commission, and Crosstown Arts. The series will provide visual artists with information, resources, and opportunities to support them in the development of their professional careers.
Join Elizabeth Rouse (ArtsMemphis), Abbey Judd (Levitt Shell), and Lauren Kennedy (UrbanArt Commission) as they discuss arts advocacy beyond NEA funding. After participating in National Arts Advocacy Day in D.C. this year, all three women were energized by legislative proposals to support the arts economy. The presentation will focus on areas of tax reform, the CREATE Act, artist visas, art education, the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture, and the Tennessee Arts Commission.
The panelists will discuss where to find resources on arts advocacy and how to get involved in advocacy groups, and we’ll participate in a postcard-writing campaign.
Confused about how copyrights, contracts, and licensing relate to your arts practice? Shea Oliver, an Intellectual Property Attorney with Burch, Porter & Johnson, PLLC, will walk us through the Fair Use Doctrine and how to use a “take down notice.” She’ll answer questions like: Why should artists bother with contracts? How do we protect ourselves when we license our artwork or when working collaboratively? Bring your questions.
