Workshop
Dealing with Digital Rights
Organised by The Space
The Space, in association with Arts Council England is hosting a webinar for arts organisations and artists who have an interest in rights issues that need to be covered when producing digital projects.
Whether you are translating an existing offering to an online space, or creating something brand new for a digital audience, you’ll need to establish clearly defined permissions for how you are using the work of your own creative team, and those outside it.
In this session we’ll talk through what’s involved with securing digital rights, as well as sharing examples of how rights obstacles have prompted alternative creative paths, often to the benefit of the artwork.
Rob Lindsay, Head of Programmes for The Space The Space, will be discussing this and more with the following industry experts:
