Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts

Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal assistance to artists and arts organizations. It connects artists who need legal help—such as contract issues, copyright concerns, or business advice—with volunteer attorneys who specialize in arts law. VLA aims to support the creative community by ensuring that artists can access legal resources necessary for their work, helping them navigate legal challenges and protecting their rights. Through workshops, legal clinics, and referrals, VLA fosters a stronger arts ecosystem while empowering artists to focus on their creative pursuits.
