Law.com has a nice article on the Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts and how they have helped Washington D.C. based artist for more than 20 years.

WALA has been providing legal advice and referrals to artists and artist groups in Washington, D.C, for more than 20 years. The system the group uses — an e-mail referral list sent out to 80 law firms and solo practitioners — is basic, but through it Lowe has been able to find attorneys for more than 700 of the approximately 950 requests he has received in the past three years.

The legal issue an artist has must be arts-related, but this too spans a wide range. Artists come to WALA with copyright issues, trademark disputes, creation of nonprofits, conflicts with galleries, studios and landlords and even immigration cases.

Bravo!
