Maryland Lawyers for the Arts has undergone a makeover. The biggest change means my first sentence is technically incorrect. The organization, which offers pro bono assistance and lawyer referral service to artists and arts groups, is now called Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (MdVLA).
Maryland Lawyers for the Arts is marking its 25th anniversary with a "Conference on Creativity & Law" tomorrow afternoon at the American Visionary Art Museum. The conference is free and open to non-lawyers, but you need to RSVP here. Marcia Semmes, MLA's executive director (pictured left), called it a "do-it-your-self copyright event," featuring discussions on copyright law and a screening of "Copyright Criminals," a documentary about music sampling that will be followed by a talk from filmmaker Kembrew McLeod.

An artist at the center of battles challenging peddling laws in Baltimore and Ocean City will be the center of attention at a Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts fundraiser Thursday night. Spray-paint artist Mark Chase will be performing and donating his works to the fundraiser, "Fiesta de los Abogados y Artistes" in the courtyard at Baltimore's Union Mill. ("Abogados" is Spanish for "lawyer.")
Before today, I had never heard of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi nor his fantastic facial hair. It turns out in 1923 he made a bronze scuplture, "Bird in Space," that he shipped to the United States in 1927. Customs officials levied a $4,000 tax on it upon arrival because it was, in their view, a hunk of metal. Brancusi said it was art, which was not taxed at all. He took his case to court and won in 1928, his money refunded. I learned all this thanks to the winner of video contest sponsored by Maryland Lawyers for the Arts in honor of the organization's 25th birthday.
The phones have started ringing at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Artists with legal questions about anything from tenant leases to trademark registration are taking advantage of a new helpline set up by the school in partnership with the recently revived Maryland Lawyers for the Arts.
