In the spring of 2016, ELX Art hosted a series of seminars on Copyright laws, Intellectual Property and Social Media at City & Guilds School of Art in London, for the institution’s students, staff and management team.
Challenge: Copyright and social media are increasingly pressing issues in today’s digital world. It is essential that both established practitioners and young artists entering the market are informed about how these function and how they can be used beneficially.
Epiphany: Hold a seminar in one of London’s leading art schools to ensure that students, staff members and members of the leadership team have a full understanding of the function of copyright and social media, while also opening up the discussion as to their benefits.
Output: A series of seminars discussing the past, present and the possible future of art, digital media, copyright, social media and their contingents.
Outcome: An open discussion within an instructive environment, which brought to light some of the most essential aspects of the art world today and helped to generate aome ideas as to how they can be used most beneficially.
