Are you an artist that makes Hip-Hop, Baltimore Club, R&B, or some other type of Electronic Dance Music? Then come learn about copyright, contracts, and the other legal and business building blocks necessary for any successful music career. Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the rights of artists and arts organizations through pro bono legal services and education. We want to put YOU in control! After this class, you will be able to issue spot important topics in both the artistic and professional processes you engage in as a creative person. This will help you protect yourself and the other artists in your community. At the very least, it will help you realize when you need a good lawyer on your side (which is something we can also help with)! Baltimore Hip-Hop artist Greenspan and producer Rarkelly (Normaling, Space is the Place Records) will be there to share their own music business experiences.
