Facilitated by Max from Artists’ Legal Advice Services
This workshop explored the ways in which the artists can protect their legal rights and work from a place of informed self-advocacy. Max walked the artists through various legal terms and gave them checklists for a bill of sale agreement, exhibition agreements, and private commission contracts.
Artists' Legal Advice Services (ALAS)
For 35 years, Artists' Legal Advice Services (ALAS) has worked to empower Ontario's creative community by providing access to summary legal advice, information, and education. ALAS is operated by volunteer entertainment and intellectual property lawyers, fellow creators, and law students who generously donate their time to help provide advice to those who may not be able to access more expensive alternatives. ALAS assists creators in three main ways: our educational sessions, our bi-weekly legal clinic, and our legal database.
