Copyright for Visual and Media Artists Workshop
Sunday, March 14 3-5 p.m. Martha Rans
Presented with BC CARFAC
What is copyright and how does it affect, protect and benefit the work of visual artists? 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.
