Chris Chow, Arts Lawyer and Founder of Creative Lawyers will explore the legal and contractual aspects of public art commissioning. Designed for artists and commissioners, this session will provide a practical understanding of why contracts are critical to the successful delivery of public art projects and how they protect the interests of both artists and commissioning bodies. Chris will explain key contractual terms, intellectual property and moral rights, insurance requirements, risk management, payment schedules, warranties, and the legal obligations artists must meet when entering into public art commission agreements. Through real-world examples and expert guidance, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate contracts, understand their responsibilities, and make informed decisions throughout the commissioning process. This webinar is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in public art contracting - commissioners & artists.
