About this Workshop
Curious about how to protect yourself and work when seeking and accepting creative opportunities? Join Krista Mirhoseini of Mirhoseini Creative Law, PLLC for the last in our three-part series on Creative Business Basics!
This workshop will break down the often-confusing components of artist contracts, how they can be utilized in your creative practice, and help build your contract negotiation knowledge. The workshop will examine some typical contracts used by creatives–including work-for-hire agreements, commissions, exhibitions, and publishing agreements– and help you understand key provisions in these contracts.
This workshop is the final workshop in a three-part series. Attendance of the other workshops in this series is not required, and note that you must register for each workshop you would like to attend separately.
