ARTish Words: public domain day 2022 + welcome home, winnie

What do Winnie the Pooh, Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes and Greta Garbo have in common? They all have creative work (but not all of their work) that entered into the public domain this year, thereby enabling all of us to enjoy, use and build upon those works.In this episode of ARTish Words, we hear from Jennifer Jenkins, Director of the Duke Center for the Study of Public Domain, helping us understand the purpose and benefit of the entry of works into the public domain, as well as celebrating this year’s extraordinary class of public domain entrants including works from William Faulkner, Willa Cather, Fanny Brice, Al Jolson, Rudolph Valentino, Buster Keaton, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, among many others.As a proponent of educating artists on our rights as creators and users of artistic works, this episode of the ARTish Plunge encourages artists to understand our rights so we can exercise control over how our work is seen, heard and shared.  Host Kristy Darnell Battani also shares tips on how to locate public domain sound recordings, books, movies, compositions and visual works.
