What exactly is "fair use" and how does it apply to your daily art practice? Are you a mixed-media artist, collage artist and/or digital artist who incorporates existing source material into your work? Do you worry about fair use but are afraid to ask? In this introductory presentation, Drew Epstein will explain the basics of fair use for artists, using examples pulled from recent art and intellectual property rulings. After the presentation, Drew will answer all of your questions in a Q&A format.
