Understanding copyright law is tricky and with the rise of the digital world over the past 15 years, it may have become even more exciting and complicated. Join lawyer Martha Rans in this highly interactive workshop as she defines what you need to know about copyright with fascinating and relevant case studies.

Gordon Smith: The Printed Pictures
Through March 7, 2010
Gordon Smith has been a practicing visual artist for nearly seven decades. For more than fifty years he has painted the Canadian landscape and has consistently explored the mediums of drawing, painting and printmaking in inventive and expressive ways. He was awarded the Order of Canada for his significant contribution to Canadian culture in 1996. To date, no in-depth research or exhibition of Smith’s prints has been executed. Having created nearly 300 prints throughout his career the BAG shall endeavour to create an exhibition and publication which extracts roughly 100 works of art that will exemplify this vein of his career.
