Know Your Rights as a Disabled Creative

Crip Livelihoods: Creative Skills Workshops for Deaf and Disabled Artists

Promo image for "Know Your Rights as a Disabled Creative."

November 20th @ 5 - 6:30pm ET | Online [Zoom]

Creative Connector, in partnership with CARFAC Ontario and Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS), is excited to offer an accessible workshop that addresses the unique legal concerns of Deaf and Disabled artists in the arts community.

Deaf and Disabled artists are invited to this discussion, where they can engage with a legal expert and peers to explore essential legal topics related to their creative practice. You'll have the chance to bring your own experiences, ask questions, and share insights into the challenges you face as an artist.

Topics may include:

  • Basic understanding of intellectual property laws such as copyright
  • Navigating contracts and agreements relevant to your artistic work
  • Protecting your rights as a Deaf or Disabled artist
  • Strategies for negotiating fair pay

Whether you're new to the legal side of the arts or have specific concerns, this session is designed to empower you with the knowledge you need. 

This workshop is part of our fall/winter programming Crip Livelihoods, a series of online accessible skills workshops designed by and for Deaf and Disabled Creatives.
