Defamation and Rights of Privacy and Publicity for Artists

With Steven T. Lowe, Esq.

The interaction between art and reality has become more pronounced in recent years. Authors, screenwriters, and visual artists are often times confronted with the issue of what they can say and what they can’t say about celebrities, political figures, and non-public figures. And when and under what circumstances they can use images of these people. This workshop will educate the participants on the law regarding these issues and provide guidelines to avoid exposure to liability.
