ACCOLADES for Arts Law Conversations

This is crucial information, uncommonly communicated. — Jade Simmons (http://www.jademedia.org) Elizabeth Russell achieves the impossible in this essential reference. She makes the labyrinth of arts-related law clear, actionable, and compelling to read. Instead of dense rhetoric and legalese, she offers friendly and focused conversations that connect the dots for cultural entrepreneurs, artists, managers, and supporters. If you make art or work in the arts, you need this book. — E. Andrew Taylor, Asst. Professor Arts Management Program, American University If you’re an artistic type, like me, whose eyes glaze over when it’s time to read a contract that pertains to your work, Arts Law Conversations is a book you’ll actually enjoy reading. Elizabeth Russell speaks in down-to-earth plain talk that everyone can understand. She weaves the stories of real, recognizable people in this volume of useful information about every aspect of the law and the arts. At the end of each conversation you get to try your own hand at lawyering. And that’s where Elizabeth is like a great dance partner. You didn’t think you could do it, but you’re dancing! — Terre Roche (http://www.terreroche.com)
