The Institute of Art and Law and Howard Kennedy LLP are pleased to announce an afternoon seminar on the topic of copyright and fair dealing in the visual arts. The event will bring together experts from the judiciary, cultural institutions, private practice and academia to discuss the scope and benefits of fair dealing for artists, commercial galleries and museums when creating, managing or trading in artworks that incorporate third-party material such as photographs, commercial adverts, film clips and music. Important international comparisons will be made with approaches to copyright exceptions in the EU and ‘fair use’ in the US. This will provide a unique opportunity to learn about the cutting-edge developments in the area, including case law and market practice, and to contribute to a moderated discussion with the speakers.

Keynote: Rt Hon Lord Justice Richard Arnold, Judge of the Court of Appeals of England and Wales
