LegalLink
Artists receive legal assistance in areas such as: estate planning, family law, immigration, contracts, business law, real estate, taxes, copyright and trademark. The attorneys who participate in the LegalLink program consult with artists on a pro bono or in-kind basis. For many artists, this program has been a vital resource as they learn to protect their work and how to empower their careers.

SeminArt
A series of workshops and presentations tailored specifically to the needs of professional artists. Workshops offer expert advice from key industry influencers and critical resources in a wide array of topics, including: portfolio review, marketing, public speaking, grant writing, gallery relationships, financial planning, legal incorporation, copyright and more. SeminArts offer a targeted networking opportunity for artists and art professionals to meet and build relationships.

Live/Work Residency
This summer, LegalArt is opening Miami’s first Live/Work Residency program for local artists, visiting national and international artists, and curators. Located in downtown Miami, in a former warehouse built in 1924, the residency is made up of six approximately 600-square-foot live/work studios and one curatorial studio apartment. The studios feature polished concrete floors, multiple power sources, and large warehouse windows that provide ample natural light. The shared communal kitchen, dining, and lounging areas encourage collaboration among the residents. On the floor below the residency are the LegalArt offices, legal counseling and conference room, gallery, research library, and event space.

From Independent Collectors: You may not have heard about us

Not sure about this, but it looks interesting if you are a collector of contemporary art. Received this the other day from the ArtNexus list.

 You may not have heard about us: Independent Collectors
 Hi, we’re collecting collectors …

Independent Collectors is an online platform specifically designed for collectors of contemporary art. It is a protected, non-commercial space for collectors to find likeminded people from all over the world, to exchange information, share insights, to arrange meetings at fairs, to discuss the market or to upload and present their private collections.

Are collectors really willing to share?
 The platform was launched in June 2008, despite the rumour that collectors didn’t want to talk to each other. Within just over one year, we count 1,832 collectors of contemporary art from 67 nations who are presenting 5,746 artworks in 594 private exhibitions, which probably makes Independent Collectors the biggest online exhibition of private contemporary art collections on the internet. The current featured exhibition for example is a selection of minimalist and conceptual art from the 60’s and 70’s, presented by the American collector Michael Lowe.

Why Independent Collectors? Independent from what?
 Up to now galleries, museums, auction houses, biennials, curators and art magazines have been considered as the ‘supply side’ of the art market. They have been playing a major role in defining trends, controlling most art transactions. This is currently changing.

Independent Collectors connects the “autonomous multitude” – collectors who often don’t feel like they’re organized players. We want to make it easier for collectors worldwide to find likeminded people, share opinions, set trends and make their voices heard.

Press Release for the launch of ArtBump.com – Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Our good friend, David Collado, has launched this really cool site to promote the arts, ArtBump.com. You go there and can post up stuff that you like, artists, galleries, arts events, live bands, anything art related. People can go and vote and discuss. Check it out! www.artbump.com

Press Release for the launch of ArtBump.com – Tuesday, August 4, 2009

A new website has been launched which taps the wisdom of crowds to discover, share, and promote (bump) the best art from across the web. The site functions like Digg.com but is curated to feature only stories related to art with emphasis on artists and their work.

The process is simple. Users first setup a member account on ArtBump.com and then proceed to vote on stories that have already been submitted by other members as well as submit their own art-related stories. And since the site is a work in progress, users can suggest new categories to the webmaster if they feel the current set of categories is lacking. There are also a number of social web features such as adding friends, creating groups of like-minded art appreciators, sharing stories through your Facebook and Twitter accounts, and more.

The vision for the site is to become a website that will blow you away on any given day with the most amazing artistic content and stories from across the web. One day, you might be amazed by a photographer in China, and the next you will be touched by a dance troop in Russia or a music video out of Brazil. By tapping the wisdom of crowds, ArtBump hopes to discover, share, and promote the best art and artists from across the web and from across the world.

Please visit ArtBump.com, setup an account, and start sharing and bumping stories. It’s easy and it’s good for the creative soul.
