The law can be a tricky thing if you are a photographer. That’s why the California Lawyers for the Arts (CLA) is hosting a seminar, “What every photographer needs to know about the law,” on Wednesday, Dec. 14, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 Fourth St.
Intellectual property attorney Stuart L. Carroll will be discussing legal issues for photographers including copyright registration, infringement actions and relationships with news agencies.
The workshop will focus on legal principals and practical pointers to maximize the value of photographic works, as well as what to do when photographs are used without permission.
The cost is $20 for the general public and $10 for CLA members and Santa Monica residents.
Workshops sell out, so reserve early. For reservations, call at (310) 998-5590. The workshops are supported by the City of Santa Monica cultural affairs division, the California Arts Council, the County of Los Angeles Dispute Resolution Program and the 18th Street Arts Complex.
The CLA is a Santa Monica-based non-profit organization that provides lawyer referrals, dispute resolution services, education programs and publications, a resource library, and community development projects to more than 10,000 artists and arts organizations annually throughout California.
