Announcing…
The Artist Legal Cafe
A cross-sector collaboration between Movement Law,
the Sustainable Economies Law Center, and Vital Arts,
the Artist Legal Cafe is an artist-led initiative
that offers direct services and capacity-building support
to individual artists, artist collectives, and arts organizations.
Each monthly Cafe kicks off with a 30-minute “nano-training”
followed by 1:1 support with licensed attorneys on a range of topics.
The ALC is generously supported by the Kenneth Rainin Foundation,
the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and the Gerbode Foundation.
