Link: Arts Mediation Group: Completely voluntary; respects differences; safeguards relationships; creates fair, lasting solutions; lets parties decide.

Welcome

Arts Mediation Group offers mediation services to individuals, organizations, and businesses in all fields of arts and entertainment — performing arts, visual arts, literary arts — whether nonprofit or commercial. Arts Mediation Group also serves the general business community and the nonprofit world when the dispute or issue needing resolution involves artistic or intellectual property issues.

Our goal is to support artistic expression and creative enterprise by enabling parties in dispute to resolve conflict in a collaborative rather than an adversarial manner. The Group's expertise combines extensive mediation skills and experience with a deep knowledge of intellectual property issues (including copyrights and trademarks), commercial negotiation and litigation, and backgrounds in the performing arts and arts administration.

Please look for our expanded web site this fall.
