For those building a business in any creative industry, the business and legal landscape can be daunting.\u00a0 But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way!<\/p>\n
Starting Jan. 24<\/span>, attorney, musician and writer Bryan Tuk and ArtsQuest are teaming up to present a new monthly series for creators and entrepreneurs called The Creator Sessions<\/strong>.\u00a0 All sessions will take place at the Banana Factory Arts Center, 25 W. Third St., Bethlehem, PA<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy approach with my creator clients is not just to show them how to limit their legal liability, but to be forward looking and to give them the tools they need to run their businesses more effectively.\u00a0 The Creator Sessions is an evolution of my law practice, my \u201cCreative Confidential\u201d podcast and the lecturing I\u2019ve done at area colleges and universities.\u201d<\/p>\n The Creator Sessions will run monthly from January through June and include the following sessions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Jan. 24, 7 p.m.<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Legal Boot Camp for Creators<\/p>\n Feb. 21, 7 p.m.<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Insurance and the Creative Industries<\/p>\n March 21, 7 p.m.<\/span>: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Creators and Taxes<\/p>\n April 18, 7 p.m.<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Legal Boot Camp for Creators – The Nonprofit Version<\/p>\n May 16, 7 p.m.<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Copyright & Social Media for Creators<\/p>\n June 20, 7 p.m.<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Contract Law for Creators<\/p>\n \u201cThe Creator Sessions are an excellent opportunity for artists to build their business and professional development skills to ensure the sustainability of their creative practice.

\u201cHelping creators and entrepreneurs in all industries succeed is one of the core principles of my law practice,\u201d says Tuk. \u201cFreelancers often feel as though they have very little support because of the prohibitively high cost of legal services.<\/p>\n
