The new edition has been prepared not just for visual artists, but for entrepreneurs in all artistic disciplines.Arts Law Conversations is divided into four sections: Navigating the Legal System; Intellectual Property; Contracts; and Business Issues You Might Have Overlooked. "You Try" exercises follow most Conversations. As songwriter Terre Roche said, "At the end of each Conversation you get to try your own hand at lawyering. And thats where Elizabeth is like a great dance partner. You didnt think you could do it, but youre dancing!"
