Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
How safe is the art that you make? If you post it to Facebook, can someone legally swipe it? How about an online photo gallery? Copyrights are one of those areas that self-promoting artists need to educate themselves in, that's why tonight Kettle Art Gallery is hosting a free lecture on the topic.
You'll hear from Professor Brian Holland, a law educator at Texas Wesleyan who specializes in Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure and Intellectual Property education; Ally Godfrey, an active representative for commercial photographers, and Evan Stone, a lawyer who knows the in's and out's of copyright, trademark and entertainment law. The chat will be moderated by Kettle artist Erica Felicella, so don't go getting all rowdy.
Many folks have already submitted questions that will steer the evening's conversation, but it's okay if you haven't yet taken that step and have something important to address; there will be an open Q&A after the panel wraps up.
The whole thing is free and open to the public. Doors will part at 7 p.m. and the discussion kicks off at 7:30, so get there early if you want to snag a good seat. Kettle is located at 2714 Elm Street in Deep Ellum.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
