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.

Education & Screenings

The only media series of its kind, the Art Vérité Film Library exposes students and practicing professionals to artists and sought-after experts in the art and law fields through storytelling.

  • The unscripted art documentaries in the collection introduce a legal understanding that steers art professionals into powerful positions and protects practices.

  • The films also expose law students and practicing attorneys to real-life examples of art case studies where the law has played a role - or should have played a role - in protecting the interests of art clients.

Licensed screenings of Art Vérité films held at your events provide cinematic learning models that offer insider views of the art world to help audiences understand how the law protects artists' rights and the integrity of art history. Art Vérité screenings allow the flexibility to host screenings in any venue, including conference centers, galleries, auditoriums/theaters, municipal and community settings, or classrooms, and provide opportunities to host panel discussions to build programs.
