Skowhegan is pleased to announce two educational sessions for Alumni and Faculty with Skowhegan Council member and art lawyer Amy Goldrich. Join Amy as she fields questions about a range of art-related legal concerns. Bring your hypothetical questions! Topics will vary based on questions at each session, but examples of possible topics include consignment agreements, artist-gallery relations, public art matters, insurance, the use of independent contractors vs. employees, and other subjects may be covered. Please note we cannot discuss immigration or visa questions, as this is not the speaker's area of expertise.
Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
Questions must be submitted in advance for consideration.
Dates and Time:
Session A: 6:00-7:30 PM, Tuesday, April 16
Session B: 6:00-7:30 PM, Wednesday, April 24
NOTE: This is for educational purposes only and is aimed to help you become better at issue-spotting and advocating for yourself. No attorney-client relationship is created by attending or asking a question.
