Creative Practice: A Legal Salon for Artist

COMMUNITY | FREE | 21+ | Inspired by the long tradition of the salon as a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, Creative Practice is an informal gathering hosted by California Lawyers for the Arts centered on the realities of building and sustaining an artistic life. The vitality of artistic practice depends not only on creative vision, but on access to knowledge, supportive infrastructures, and communities of care. This salon creates space for conversation around the legal, professional, and everyday realities of making art while encouraging solidarity, shared learning, and collective inquiry.

Artists of all disciplines are welcome. We especially encourage BIPOC artists, LGBTQIA2S+ artists,  immigrant artists, disabled artists, emerging creatives, and others who have historically faced barriers to legal and professional support to join us. Bring a question (or simply your curiosity) and join an afternoon of dialogue exploring the legal, social, and material conditions of creative life while learning about the resources available through California Lawyers for the Arts and a broader community of advocates, attorneys, and activists.
