Advanced Arts Contracts

This advanced level three-week course explores agreements and licences used in arts practice and how to negotiate for your rights. The course will examine contracts, what to look out for, how to negotiate, and what you can do in the event of a dispute. This is for artists who have a basic understanding of contracts and need to develop skills in negotiating and a more advanced understanding of contractual rights and obligations. You will have access to best practice resources from Arts Law to develop your toolkit: a commissioning agreement, an agency/gallery agreement and copyright licence.

This is an advanced course, if you an unfamiliar with contractual terms and concepts, it is recommended that you undertake the introductory course - Arts Contracts for Beginners. Please be aware this course does not provide tailored legal advice for artists, but rather provides you will skills and resources to apply to your own context.
