Contracts: What Should Be in One? with Patrick Close and Heather Cline
September 13, 6:30 – 8pm MST / CST
As self-employed workers, visual artists need to use contracts, to understand what needs to be in a contract, and often how to go about negotiating for a better contract… In this webinar, you will learn from two artists that have dealt with all types of contracts and even dealt with the absence of a contract…
ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Patrick Close will discuss the technical aspects of contracts, including the various types of contracts, common elements, resources, best practices and industry standards, government legislation / regulations, as well as thoughts on successful contract negotiations. Heather Cline will provide real world examples of contracts based on her experiences exhibiting and working with galleries and institutions across Canada. After these two thirty minute presentations, there will be a thirty minute Q+A based on your questions. As the webinar is on Zoom, we will unmute the audience so you can ask your own questions. Join us and learn how to read, write and change contracts…

Making Public Art Happen with Alejandro Romero, Erin Pankratz and Christian Pérès Gibaut.
Wednesday September 27, 6:30pm – 8pm MDT / CST
As visual artists, we make art for private and public use. We do not have to compromise our vision when we make art for private consumption. When we make Public Art we always need to consider the community who will be viewing the work…
ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Speaking from the knowledge acquired as the Public Arts Consultant for the City of Saskatoon, Alejandro Romero will discuss how Public Art is used by municipalities to enrich the lives of its’ citizens. Alejandro will outline the Best Practices developed that protect both the city that commissions the work and the visual artists that make the work. Erin Pankratz and Christian Pérès Gibaut work together on Public Art projects in Edmonton. In their presentation, they will discuss what to expect when making public art, the unseen side of the process, and Public Art and your career.
After these two presentations, there will be about twenty minute Q+A based on your questions. As the webinar is on Zoom, we will unmute the audience so you can ask your own questions. Join us and learn more about Public Art and whether it can be work for your career.
