Last week you could hear a collective sigh of relief from the 8th floor of NEFA. Jim Grace, executive director of
the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston, gave an informative and helpful workshop on legal
issues for New England public artists and administrators at NEFA's Public Art Discussion Series. Jim provided attendees with confidence in negotiations; demystified copyright laws; and clarified contract processes.
For images, check out our Facebook page!
Where can you spot Jim Grace next? In partnership with NEFA, RISCA will be hosting a day of legal training for artists. More information can be found on RISCA's PAD workshop website.
