  Public Art Commission Agreements: Legal and Practical Issues for Sculptors

  This webinar will cover the full range of issues that are raised in Public Art Commission agreements. While the Commission Agreements offered by government entities and private developers can vary significantly, the issues that are important to sculptors are the same in both: Design approval, scheduling, the use of sub-contractors like fabricators, payment, copyright, risk of loss and insurance, indemnification, artists moral rights, and dispute resolution. All of these are important terms that should be included in Commission Agreements and will be discussed in detail

  Webinar host: MJ Bogatin - founding partner of Bogatin, Corman & Gold

  
  

  Date: Tuesday, January 14, 2024 | 12pm-1:30pm

  Webinar is a 1-hr presentation followed by a 30min Q & A.

  **Registration required in order to attend. Link to the webinar will be sent the week before the scheduled date.*

  Second Sunday Studio Visit
  with PRS Member Oleg Lobykin

  Join us for the Second Sunday Studio at the studio of Oleg Lobykin. A classically trained master stone carver, as an artist and sculptor he works in a variety of materials to express his conceptually driven ideas in novel sculptural form, experimenting with texture, materials, color, or interactive elements.
  

  "Observing the natural world and mystery of transformation inspires me. My work depicts an ongoing search for the origins of form and exploration of portals to other dimensions. Shifting realities is a recurring theme in this work, as are transformation and challenging perception. Ideas that are thought-provoking, impactful, and engaging take form in the visible realm."

  -Oleg Lobykin
