Entertainment Law w/
Brian Goldstein
Monday, October 28 from 6:30-8pm ET via Zoom
About: We all know that the performing arts is uniquely situated in its power to unite and bind us together in a world that seems to grow further apart the smaller it gets. However, there can be considerable logistical, legal, and financial challenges to international touring, programming, and presenting. Not only is the U.S. infamous in having among the world’s most tortuous systems for obtaining visas and work-permits for non-U.S. artists to perform here, but issues such as Brexit, international tax treaties, politics, and even global warming can frustrate the best artistic plans and intentions. Join us to hear a panel of experienced and engaging experts in arts management from both the U.S. and Europe discuss the challenges of moving and presenting artists across the pond and around the world.
Brian, a George Mason University Theater Program alumnus, will be joined by Glen Kwok, Executive Director of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition, Atholl Swainston-Harrington, Executive Director of the International Artist Managers Association in London, Monica Felkel, President of MF Creative Partners, and Cathy Eilers, Associate Director of Dance Programming at New York City Center.
