| | | | | The Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) has partnered with the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston to develop and implement a Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) service program for the arts sector across Connecticut. The Connecticut VLA will provide legal services, advice, and educational programming to artists, creative entrepreneurs, and arts organizations throughout Connecticut.
What does a VLA do? - They provide a valuable role in addressing legal and business issues that affect artists and the creative sector.
- A VLA will serve as a matchmaker between lawyers and the arts community and provide pro bono and reduced fees for legal services to qualifying artists, creative entrepreneurs, performing groups, and nonprofit organizations.
- VLA's are continually seeking attorneys who are committed to the arts and who specialize in matters that are relevant to arts professionals.
