Art: The lifeblood of creative expression. A world without art is a difficult scenario to imagine. But, behind any major art project is a transaction that requires business skill and legal knowledge. Students preparing for a career in the arts should be aware of their legal rights and responsibilities. This course will provide a detailed overview to the artist in the areas of copyright, trademark and right of publicity law. But that’s just part of the picture: the business aspect of managing an art portfolio and being able to uncover opportunities is essential to any successful career that uses art as its primary income source.
