Most contracts contain the same basic language, but they can be intimidating or hard to comprehend. Our upcoming workshop will help you understand the standard components of contracts.
In the first half of the workshop, the World Arts West team and our legal expert, Matt Dedon of Art Law Access, will review common contract terminology like “force majeure,” “work for hire,” and “indemnification.”
In the second half of the workshop you will have an opportunity to ask the lawyer questions and confer with World Arts West team members on points to consider when contracting.
Registration Required
$5-$30 sliding scale
