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.
This event is sponsored by Trupo. Trupo provides benefits packages for New York freelancers, including dental, accident, and specified diseases. Through Trupo, Guild can access benefit packages just like full timers! More information is available on the Guild’s Trupo page.

Steering Clear of Legal Risks for Graphic Artists
Graphic artists face legal risks that are specific to their business as well as risks that are shared by businesses of all kinds.

• Risks relating to unclear or incomplete client contracts
• Risks relating to ownership of intellectual property right
• Risks relating to being and using an independent contractor
• Risks relating to jointly starting a business or adding another owner
• Risks relating to taking money from friends and family to start or grow your business
• Risks relating to disagreements among the owners of a business
