Artist’s Resale Right
With Artist’s Resale Right (ARR), creators get a royalty payment when their work is resold by a gallery or art dealer.
Payback
Payback is a scheme which pays artists annual royalties when their artworks have been published in UK books, magazines or on TV.
Licensing
We help artists and creators earn from their work through licensing it for reproduction – for example in adverts and as merchandise.
