Raw Law is a series of factsheets that explore the main legal issues for creative people who are presenting their work in public.
You may find Raw Law useful if you are an artist, musician, writer, filmmaker or performer.
It is important for creative people to know what their legal rights are when producing and presenting their work, but it can be hard to know where to start. Raw Law provides simple, accessible legal information for people who experience major barriers to participating in the arts, including artists with disability.
