Webinar for arts organisations and artists focusing on what’s involved in managing digital rights.

Tue, 12 Sep 2023

11:00 – 12:30 BST

Online

Whether you are translating an existing offering to an online space, or creating something brand new for a digital audience, you may need to obtain permission to incorporate existing work (music, video etc) in your own piece. You may also need to create agreements for how you use the work of your creative team and freelancers or organisations you commission.

You’ll cover:

• What’s involved with securing digital rights.

• How to factor rights and clearances into your production timeline or artistic process.

• Some of the challenges, and pitfalls to avoid.

• 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:
