Artist-Dealer Relationships Clinic (Dec. 18, 2024)
December 18, 2024
About the Event
In 2012, New York passed an amendment to its Arts & Cultural Affairs Law, N.Y. Arts & Cult. Aff. Law §12.01 (2012), that affects the consignment relationship between artists and dealers and creates critical new duties—and liabilities, for the art dealer. Most importantly, it makes using any form of agreement drafted under the old law risky, particularly for the gallery or consignee. In 2022, Center for Art Law launched its third clinic, the Artist-Dealer Relationships Clinic.
This Clinic connected artists, dealers, and attorneys to forge meaningful relations and provides a platform for artists and dealers to learn about art contracts, consignment agreements and have their questions on the topic addressed by experts in the field.
After a keynote presentation delivered by Alida Camp on alternative dispute resolution methods for addressing conflicts between artists and gallerists, attendees with consultation tickets were paired with one of the Center’s volunteer attorneys for a confidential 20-minute consultation.
