During these unprecedented times, CLA remains committed to supporting the needs of artists and the arts community. We know that the arts are an invaluable resource that will continue to raise our spirits and reveal our humanity to each other. As “stay at home” orders expand across the country, we have closed our offices throughout California, but we are continuing to offer our core services.

Until the end of June, we will be offering more educational programs online on a sliding scale basis ranging from free to "pay what you can." The Lawyer Referral Services, California Inventors Assistance Program, and Arts Arbitration and Mediation Services will continue to operate at full capacity via telephone, email and digital communications.  Legal clinics are being organized to take place through telephone instead of in-person consultations.  

We intend to use this time to help the arts community navigate these uncertain waters. It is our goal to provide timely information as people confront the unforeseen circumstances that are affecting their daily lives, including work and living situations. Please refer to list of emergency resources. If you have any special needs or concerns that we can help you address, please reach out to us at support@calawyersforthearts.org 

Take care and stay safe!

Alma Robinson, Executive Director
