Do you need help licensing your work?

Managing requests to reproduce your work can be complicated and time-consuming. Leave it to us and we'll make sure you receive the money due to you every time someone uses your work.

Our team of in-house copyright experts will deal with everything on your behalf, from the price charged to the rights that should (and shouldn't) be granted.

And because we belong to an international network of sister societies in 32 countries, we can represent you worldwide, whether your work is used in a German art magazine or on an American TV channel.

Are you eligible?

  • Are you a visual artist?
  • Do you own the copyright in your artworks?
  • Can you confirm you've not granted exclusive rights to anyone else?

If you answered yes to all three questions, then you're eligible for our copyright licensing service.
