About Art Vérité

Artists are positioned at the core of all allied art professions - without them there can be no art businesses, collecting institutions, educational organizations, art histories, art markets, public art, or art attorneys. Then why do artists need protection?

The Art Vérité Film Library creates and produces innovative educational documentaries for college and university art and law programs, practicing artists, and art-related professions to identify how problems happening in the art world that try to take away artists’ power can be solved with a deeper understanding of how the law protects artists’ rights. Films showcase collaboration between art and law to impact professional practices.

This understanding is critical in building relationships in art communities for long-term success in all facets of art businesses.
