Success Strategies for the Professional Artist in the Digital Age
(PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Confucius wrote, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” “For many in the creative arts, these words are both motivating and largely empty,” said Jon Garon, a professor at The Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law and founding director of the NKU Chase Law + Informatics Institute. “In an age dominated by social media and digital distribution, creative artists are required to navigate self-promotion, online contracting, sophisticated financing, and a host of challenges that pull the artist away from the creative process and into the fast-paced world of digital commerce.”
The Institute is presenting “Success Strategies for the Professional Artist in the Digital Age: Legal and Business Tactics for Filmmakers, Musicians, Video Game Creators and Visual Artists,” on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the NKU Griffin Hall Rieveschl Digitorium. The event is sponsored by the American Bar Association Business Law Section’s Cyberspace Law Committee, Copyright Alliance, SpringBoard, and Frost Brown Todd LLC.
“With social media gaining in popularity, more people are becoming content creators, and there is great opportunity to share creative works, but many are now becoming aware that there is real value to maintain some control over what is shared,” commented Terry Hart, director of legal policy, Copyright Alliance. “It has become increasingly more important that our creative sector has opportunities to turn their passion into profit through education and training,” shared Sarah Corlett, director of creative enterprise, ArtsWave SpringBoard.
