There comes a point in every artist’s career where there is a paradigm shift in focus. You’ve put in the work to hone your craft, develop your voice, and get your ideas out into the world. As your success increases, your art grows into a brand and your practice into a business. Then, suddenly, you have to focus on the protection of your work as much as its promotion.

With the increasing dependence on social media to market your work, new considerations must be addressed. Whatever medium you use, intellectual property can be a powerful tool in protecting your brand. This workshop will go over some basic strategies to implement so you can protect your work in the new digital world. 

A recording of this session will be shared with registrants for a limited time.
