VLA Redux

Although I may seem like a broken record blogging about the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts all the time, I really do want the arts community to become more aware of VLA’s mission and services. The group, a committee of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association, has done a great deal of work over the past few years to increase their visibility and engage with the arts community. Just this past week VLA members joined the COSE Arts Network for a holiday social event at Zygote Press and offered a nice, informative presentation about issues facing freelance creative professionals.

VLA is at it again this week, as attorneys Chris Klasa and Todd Masuda are presenting a program called Drawing Lines: Legal Lessons for Creative Collaborators at SPACES Gallery Wednesday, December 8th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The VLA is recommending this seminar for performance, electronic media, and music artists who collaborate with other artists, publishers, or presenters. Both Mr. Klasa and Mr. Masuda have extensive arts/music backgrounds, so this event should be a good example of how VLA is accessible to the arts community and working to eliminate barriers to participation in their services.

To secure your place at the presentation, RSVP to Corey Thrush at cthrush@ulmer.com or Jessica Paine at jpaine@clemetrobar.org. For more information, please contact Jessica Paine at (216) 696-3525
