On February 4, 2026, the Center for Art Law hosted an in-person, full-day Art Lawyering Bootcamp focused on copyright law. The bootcamp was led by experienced art law attorneys specializing in copyright law, and provided participants—including attorneys, artists, and law students—with foundational legal knowledge relevant to advising visual artist clients. Through a combination of instructional presentations and mock consultations, participants gained a solid grounding in copyright law and its specificities as applied to the visual arts, including the fair use doctrine and the use of generative artificial intelligence tools.
