Business Essentials for Creative Entrepreneurs: Contract and Negotiation Best Practices

  • Boston Public Library: Central Library in Copley Square 700 Boylston Street Boston, MA, 02116 United States (map)

What is a contract? Are there things it must include? Do I need a lawyer to write or negotiate it for me? A contract exists when participants come together to exchange goods and services for compensation. A written contract is a valuable tool for any creative business. Contracts take all shapes and sizes, but the best contract is the one that all parties understand and that meets all parties’ business needs. Whether you routinely use contracts in your creative practice or you’re new to it, this workshop is for you!

This workshop is run by AAC partners Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston.
