Your creativity is your capital—now let’s protect it.

Whether you're a painter, poet, designer, dancer, or musician—if you're creating, you're building intellectual property. But too often, artists and creatives are left vulnerable to exploitation, ownership confusion, or legal risk. This workshop will empower you to take control of your work, your rights, and your future.

In this dynamic and accessible session led by Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (MDVLA), you’ll learn how to safeguard your creativity through legal knowledge and proactive self-advocacy.
