Organised by The Space
Webinar for arts organisations/artists who want to find out more about digital rights and what needs to be cleared.
About this event
This webinar, presented by The Space in association with Arts Council England, is for arts organisations and artists who have an interest in the rights issues that need to be covered when producing digital projects, or who may be looking at including copyright material in their digital work.
Due to popular demand we’ve asked the excellent panellists from our recent Digital Rights webinar to join us once again. They’ll give an overview of the fundamental principles and terminology of digital rights, then outline their individual specialisms and the work they do.
Then we’ll invite questions from the audience* and will deal with as many as we can. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a burning question right now, there’ll be useful advice and ideas for everyone - whether that’s knowledge about digital rights frameworks, where to go for advice, or even exploring how rights obstacles can lead to new creative opportunities** .
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- what’s involved with securing digital rights
- 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, will be discussing this and more with the following industry experts:

She has worked with a wealth of organisations to produce a wide variety of live and pre-recorded productions, ranging from the BBC Proms with a multi-million-pound budget, to online streams of performances with a budget of no more than £5k.
Through her vast back-catalogue of work, Lottie has a wealth of experience with the many ways in which rights can prove unique challenges when producing digital versions of arts experiences, and how the solutions to those challenges can often come from how we respond to them as artists ourselves.
