Founded in 2009, the art law blog has evolved to a research and education center, as they expanded and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2018. They have been striving to create a coherent and collegial art law community. Today a recognized asset to the art law sphere, Center for Art Law is a centralized resource for art and cultural heritage law.
They operate at three levels: their website constitutes a database of resources in the field of art law, including research articles and a calendar of upcoming programs worldwide; their monthly and colorful Art Law Blast newsletter keeps subscribers updated about art and law-related news, events, case law, and publications; their cultural and educational programs include CLE events, art law mixers, their popular “You’ve Been Served” film screenings, and studio tours.
They work closely with major New York law schools, bar associations, law firms, galleries, and other nonprofits, and they participate in discussions about proposed legislation, such as the merits of instituting a federal resale royalty right in the United States and diversity in arts-related organizations.
