We will need people to sign up to sell ads for our show program, secure large sponsorships ($), help with registration, sitting during the show, setting up of show display boards, taking down, etc. This isn t our first rodeo, folks!

2 Meeting Highlights and Announcements February Artist of the Month Kathy Benson Theme Love Currently on display, Art Gallery of Viera announces "Exposure", a photographic art show featuring photography of all kinds, including digitally enhanced or manipulated photos, March 7 - April 5, Visit for more information. Charlie Smith spoke at our February meeting. He delivered an informative and entertaining talk on copyright law. Did you know that you can protect your original works with an unregistered copyright by simply placing a copyright symbol beside your signature and by dating each painting? Example: 2/21/36 Pablo Picasso This act alone gives notice that your work is copyrighted and permits you (as the artist) to defend your copyright in court. You will need to pay your own court costs. A registered copyright, (available for a fee), allows the same protections, but gives the added benefit of repayment of court costs for defending your copyright. In general any work created prior to 1923 is in the public domain. This means you can legally create a copy of the work. It is always good practice to give attribution to the original artist, however. For example, if you make a copy of the Mona Lisa, you could sign your work The Mona Lisa by Susan Smith after Leonardo Da Vinci. Charlie shared these and other tips at our meeting. If you missed the meeting and have questions about copyright, please consult a lawyer. Thank you, Charlie, for sharing with us!
