The Co|So Team is thrilled to announce the return of regularly-scheduled workshops for members of Co|So and the community!

We are kicking off the first of many professional development opportunities to come at the gallery with: Legal Issues for Artists – a workshop led by Deputy Director of the Arts & Business Council, Luke Blackadar!

Join us for an educational workshop where we’ll dive into some of the common legal issues faced by fine artists. Legal staff from the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston’s Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts program will discuss artists’ copyright, common contract terms, legal issues relating to licensing and selling works of art, and where to get legal help.

This workshop is appropriate for artists of all disciplines and at all career levels.

Luke manages A&BC’s Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and Patent Pro Bono of New England programs. He counsels individual artists, creative small businesses, and arts nonprofits on contract, intellectual property, legal entity, and nonprofit matters. Additionally, Luke teaches at Roger Williams University School of Law, BU Metropolitan College, and Northeastern University School of Law. Luke graduated from Clark University and Northeastern University School of Law.
