“INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND THE ARTIST”
Seminar presented by Lakewood is Art and the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts

Starting in September 2010, Lakewood is Art will hold quarterly seminars called “The Business of Art” featuring subjects relevant to artists about legal and business practices. The first seminar, titled “Intellectual Property and the Artist” will be held at Bela Dubby on Thursday, September 30 at 7pm. Sam Khoury, from the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, will discuss the importance of intellectual property, copyright law and how to protect works of art. Educating, fostering, and empowering artists are an important part of Lakewood is Art’s mission to build a stronger and thriving arts community.

Lakewood Is Art (LIA) is a nonprofit community arts and culture organization that promotes and supports a collaborative arts community in Lakewood. LIA collaborates with groups and individuals in an effort to meet the community's cultural needs and to fulfill LIA goals of providing equity and access to the arts, providing exhibition opportunities for Lakewood-based artists, and allowing community members, both audiences and artists alike, to experience the arts in unexpected places; giving us all a new perspective on the boundless possibilities of who and what art can be and where it can happen.
