Artist’s Resale Right
Through Artist’s Resale Right (ARR), artists, and their beneficiaries, get a royalty payment when their work is resold for £1000 or over by a gallery or art dealer.
Collective
Claim collective licensing royalties as an artist, creator or beneficiary when published visual artwork is photocopied or scanned or broadcast on TV.
Licensing
We help artists, creators and rightsholders earn from their work by licensing it for reproduction by someone else – for example in adverts and as merchandise.
