Presented by Susan Chaires, Esquire
In this lunch time seminar participants will learn about creative ways they can gain visibility for their art works and earn additional income, beyond the sale of the works themselves. The topics will include a discussion of the licensing process, an exploration of the variety of ways art works can be licensed for use by others, and the important terms to include, and to avoid, in the license agreement.
We will discuss specific examples of licensed art works and participants are invited to bring their own ideas and experiences.
Susan Chaires is a Washington DC based intellectual property lawyer who has assisted numerous artist clients in licensing their works for such varied uses as calendars, books, fabrics, commemorative coins and movies.
Note: This workshop is scheduled to proceed Day 2 of the Website Design Workshop.
