About this Event
Your Art Deserves Protection. So Do You.
Being taken advantage of isn't just bad business—it's bad for your mental health.
When artists don't understand their rights, they lose more than money. They lose ownership, control, and confidence. Learning to protect your work is an essential act of self-care.
