This virtual event is intended to provide a relaxed space for artists to learn both from each other and from our expert facilitators—Melanie Yugo (artist, policy researcher, and educator), Sarwar Qureshi(chartered professional accountant), and Vandana Taxali (art-tech entrepreneur and intellectual property lawyer). Designed as a community-led session, participants are encouraged to bring and share their questions, experiences, struggles, and successes with their peers and facilitators. Potential topics for discussion include: types of business structures; considerations related to setting up a business; navigating negotiations; understanding basic copyright and intellectual property laws; when and how to use different agreements/contracts; protecting your rights as an artist; and better accounting and tax practices, including bookkeeping and invoicing tips.
