"If you are looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, timely presenter to educate on arts and law, I highly recommend working with Stephanie Drawdy."
"Creative people want to focus on creating--it is overwhelming to also try to make sense of legal issues and AI.

"Creative people want to focus on creating--it is overwhelming to also try to make sense of legal issues and AI. Stephanie did an amazing job presenting clear, meaningful, usable information to the members of the National Cartoonists Society about copyright law: the origin, the implications, and the complexities, especially as it applies to AI issues. She hit the sweet spot with enough details to leave us feeling informed but kept the concepts simple enough to be 100% accessible. Her pacing, visuals, and clear take-aways kept every minute of our hour with her valuable. And, she made it so easy to organize having her as a guest: available for efficient planning and follow up meetings to make sure that our organization's goals were met and providing images and text for us to use to promote the event. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, timely presenter to educate on arts and law, I highly recommend working with Stephanie Drawdy."

"Center for Art Law has had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Drawdy on multiple occasions to explore the intersection of art and law and the role lawyers play in making complex issues understandable to the public. One of the highlights of our collaboration with Stephanie was the 2024 Art Law Conference on Reporting Art Law; it was especially rewarding to have her speak about the important and engaging work she is doing with her podcast, Warfare of Art and Law. The podcast regularly highlights underreported topics such as restitution, museum ethics, and questions of justice in the arts.
During her presentation at the Conference, Stephanie demonstrated deep preparation, posed thoughtful questions, and offered valuable insights drawn from her experience as an artist, attorney, and podcast host. She contributed significantly to the discussion about accurately reporting on cases and the importance of how topics are chosen and framed.
Stephanie has also donated artworks to the Center, written for the Center’s website, and participated in our online programming, sharing resources and insights with the wider art law community."
