CLASS: Legal Issues for Artists w/ Attorney, Artist, and Community Activist Ben Ezzell

AF CLASS: LEGAL ISSUES FOR ARTISTS

ABOUT THE CLASS:
Do I need an LLC? When should I use a written contract? Am I actually an independent contractor? In this session Ben Ezzell will discuss legal strategies for artists and what steps are actually necessary when growing a business. Come prepared with your questions or email Ben <BEzzell@gmail.com> with issues you are having or questions you'd like answered. This is an informational session, not intended to establish an attorney-client relationship.

This class will take place on Monday, July. 25th from 6:00 PM CST to 7:30 PM CST.

All AF Classes are held virtually on Zoom and will be recorded. All participants will receive a link to download the recording shortly after the class. Any questions? Email hi@artfriendsforever.com :)
