The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to announce
that registration is now live for Can We Do That?: Intellectual Property
Rights and Visual Media, which will be held in on Friday, December 15, 2017
at Princeton University. This day-long workshop will be hosted by the
Department of Art History and Archaeology, Visual Resources Collection, and
is open to cultural heritage professionals, the information and educational
communities, and to anyone interested in visual culture. Can We Do That? is
one of four workshops being offered during the 2017-2018 VRAF Regional
Workshop Program. The VRAF is grateful to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation
for their continued support of this exciting opportunity to partner with
cultural heritage and educational institutions.
A thorough understanding of intellectual property rights can be a
challenge for lawyers, let alone for information, academic, and cultural
heritage professionals, and the application of copyright restrictions on
visual media can induce a sense of alarm and uncertainty dependent upon
specific circumstances. Can We Do That? will provide a clear focus on U.S.
copyright law, intellectual property rights, and fair use as they pertain
to the use of visual media (e.g., images and moving images) within the
academic, archival, library, gallery, and museum environments. Educational
usage, securing publication rights, creative reuse, rights statements,
licensing, and the public domain will be explored within the context of
case studies, including those provided by participants in advance of the
workshop. Participants will also be introduced to tools and resources to
help them and their constituents in making appropriate decisions regarding
appropriate use and dissemination of visual media.
Can We Do That? will be taught by Anne M. Young, Manager of Rights and
Reproductions at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. In her role,
she is responsible for processing all requests for the use of visual
content, obtaining permissions for internal uses of images/videos, and
administering the institution's onsite photography policy. She also
initiates and manages all licensing agreements with artists and/or rights
holders for works in the museum’s collection. Young was formerly the
photographic archivist for the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University and
has worked for the Art Gallery of Ontario and the George Eastman Museum.
She is currently a Master of Jurisprudence candidate at Indiana
University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law focusing on Intellectual
Property, art, and museum law. Young previously received a Master of Arts
in photographic preservation and collections management from Ryerson
University and a Bachelor of Arts in art history and studio art
(photography) from Indiana University. Young chaired the Rights and
Reproductions Professional Practices committee of the American Alliance of
Museums (AAM) from 2012–2018 and was the editor of the 2015 AAM
publication Rights & Reproductions: The Handbook for Cultural Institutions,
for which she received the Visual Resources Association’s Nancy DeLaurier
Award in 2017.
