Artists’ Legal Rights Sessions at Block 336

From copyright to consignment agreements, an artist’s practice can often feel fraught with pitfalls not covered at art school. Beginning on 11th June 2020, Block 336 will present a series of interactive talks on artists’ legal rights over the coming months, designed to explore some of the recurring themes in this area through the lens of how they affect artists. Organised by intellectual property lawyer and Block 336 board member Jon Sharples, the sessions will bring together artists and arts and legal professionals to discuss copyright, artists’ contracts, artists’ estates and more. Alongside these talks, Block 336 will also collate and present information about available resources, advice clinics and law firms with pro bono offerings. Originally intended to be hosted at the gallery, the series will now be presented as webinars via Zoom.
