The Art Law Line

A legal hotline staffed by law students and volunteer attorneys who field calls from artists and arts professionals seeking assistance about their art-related legal questions. The hotline is staffed Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

VLA’s Art Law Line provides the arts community with legal and business advice, referrals, and information about both substantive legal questions and VLA’s services. Last year, VLA answered over 10,000 telephone calls, letters, and internet inquiries. Through the Art Law Line, low-income artists and nonprofit arts organizations are scheduled for an in-house consultation with a VLA staff attorney.

The Art Law Line is also an important vehicle for informing the public regarding VLA membership opportunities, course offerings and other services.
