New England Region

Join us for a creators’ get-together and summer celebration. We’re inviting metro-New York creative professionals –photographers, writers, graphic designers and illustrators, songwriters, and other creative pros – to join us in for drinks and conversation at WeWork’s beautiful Fulton Landing location.

This event is free, but please register so that we have a head count.

This is a great opportunity to connect with creative professionals from a variety of fields, share stories, and exchange information.

We’ll also be celebrating the progress The CASE Act has made in the Senate – the copyright small claims legislation artist advocacy. The Bill recently was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we joined forces with other creators to stump for the Bill on Capitol Hill. We’ll also cover the other important work advocacy organizations are doing to protect artists rights.
