Artists’ Legal Outreach

Art can get messy. The Artists' Legal Outreach can help. We are a group of volunteer lawyers and law students committed to working with artists and arts organizations. We offer resources, workshops and clinics where artists can meet confidentially with an experienced lawyer. Every artistic discipline is welcome, all for the price of a donation.
