Arts Law is an independent national community legal centre for the arts. It provides free or low cost specialised legal advice, education and resources to Australian artists and arts organisations across all art forms, on a wide range of arts related legal and business matters. The Artists in the Black program delivers targeted services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.
Arts Law was funded to:
2014
Brisbane, Stradbroke Island, Cairns, Innisfail, Cardwell, Aurukun, Napranum, Old Mapoon, Thursday Island and Darnley Island.
$30,000 – Projects and Programs Fund
Arts Law offered the following reflections on partnership development and evaluation:
“The partnership with Cassowary Coast Regional Council provided a good model for further professional development programs in Queensland. It was successful in terms of the number of participants because of the relationships the council already had with the community. Arts Law is actively working to develop relationships with other local governments with strong interest in the arts.
In all aspects of service delivery by Arts Law and Artists in the Black, the importance of partnerships cannot be overemphasised. Such partnerships are crucial to engaging local audiences whether it be to participate in a professional development project or just help disseminate information about the services Arts Law and Artists in the Black provide and the ways we can assist creators across art forms and communities.
On a practical note, Arts Law received less feedback from educational sessions than we anticipated. Feedback has been gathered through use of online surveys and whilst this is a very easy tool to implement, we are missing out on important feedback which will help us develop our services. In 2015 we will be using a mixture of online and hard copy surveys which will be distributed at the time education is provided.”
