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…
