Timing is Everything: Copyright Recapture and You

Presented by: Laurie Hughes & Suzanne Kessler
The Copyright Act of 1976 recognizes that artists often sign contracts during the early part of their careers that give them the short end of a deal. Congress created a mechanism for artists to recapture their rights by following specific steps to reassert ownership over the copyright. These steps are technical: Congress is not going to just hand you back your rights.
Reserve your spot today, RSVP to: VLPA@ABCnashville.org or (615) 743-3055.
Cost: $10 – ABC Members; $15 – Non Members
For CLE Credit (1.5 hours): $50 – ABC Member Attorneys, $75 Non Member Attorneys
Join us as we describe the process and break down the steps - the timing is right to reunite with your copyright!

Art-o-mat
Artists, would you like to sell miniatures of your work in vending machines? Read on.
Founded in 1997, Artists in Cellophane is an arts group that converts retired cigarette machines into functioning Art-o-mat® installations. There are two machines in Tennessee, one at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (Nashville) and one at Create Here (Chattanooga), plus over 100 around the world.
All Art-o-mat® machines are intended to be a living/breathing part of their arts community while serving as a valid resource for local/regional artists. This is a great opportunity for artists to have their work exposed to a large audience (local, statewide and national).
AIC believes that art should be progressive, yet personal and approachable. What better way to do this, than with a heavy cold steel machine? Hmmm...Wheels Turning?
