Arts Law + SBS, Filming in the Black, an online workshop for First Nations filmmakers, was a great event that highlighted a thirst for knowledge about copyright, moral rights, contracts, defamation and much, much more. We’re all keen to do it again! Stay tuned for the next one.

Arts Law + Creative Workplaces, artsACT presents, an in-person workshop and networking for artists of all creative disciplines hosted by artsACT, was an engaging and interesting day of conversation and connection at Ainslie Art Centre, ACT. We discussed legal and practical tips geared towards supporting artists, arts workers and organisations to build fair, safe and respectful creative workplaces and have taken note of the many questions we received on the day and continue to receive through our legal query form.

Arts Law’s Hearts for Arts Law (HFAL), Protest, Performance and Power: when does art become illegal? (featuring an amazing panel attracting a big audience turn-out at Canva’s space in Surry Hills, and online — artist Mike Parr, lawyers Eli Fisher and Khushaal Vyas, and scholars Professor David Rolph and Dr Sameera Durrani) was an enormous success that raised important and challenging issues, and nearly $1,500 for Arts Law! You HFAL our hearts.
