“VLA” is short for “Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.” VLAs are non-profit organizations that provide pro bono legal services and education programs to income-eligible artists and arts organizations. The first VLA in the United States was founded in New York City in 1969. Now, there are at least 27 independent VLAs across the United States. There are also VLAs in Japan, Australia and Europe.
