This post is unrelated to The Turning Gate’s offerings, but it’s a topic that affects all of us as creative professionals.
No one can speak up for your rights better than you. In fact, there are a lot of people who don’t want you to stand up for your rights. But, as a creator, you know that maintaining ownership of your work is important. And having the freedom to choose how you copy, use, and distribute your work is also necessary for your success and livelihood.
The ASMP, along with other organizations in the Copyright Alliance, is urging photographers to sign an online letter to tell the President and Vice President that you want your creative work to be recognized and respected. The letter has not yet been launched to the public, as we want many artists to sign the letter before it is released to the public for other creators’ signatures.
The goal is to get at least 1500 signatures by artists and creators by Friday, September 25.
It’s easy to sign the letter. Just enter your name, artist type, city, state, and email and hit “sign”.
Sign the letter. And pass this message on to your other creative friends to sign the letter.
Your voice as an artist is important, so sign the letter today!

Thanks for the heads up. Somehow a line-break sneaked into it and screwed it all up. It’s fixed now.
