Demystifying Contracts for Independent Creatives

The creative economy can be difficult for independent artists to navigate. How do you best advocate for yourself and what terms and provisions should you have in your contracts? Join Lawyers for the Creative Arts as we demystify contracts for independent creatives. Entertainment attorney Odell Mitchell III will lead the session, covering key terms and provisions in contracts, how to determine your fees and time commitment, the best ways to protect your work and intellectual property, and tips for advocating for yourself. We’ll also discuss the new Freelance Isn’t Free Act and other protections for independent artists in Illinois. The seminar will include a question and answer session.
