DACS goes from strength to strength in 2013

In January 2013 DACS launches a newly re-structured organisation designed to improve the way we deliver services to artists and artists’ estates, putting artists’ services and innovative business development at the heart of DACS.

The new structure creates three new departments: External Relations, Operations and Services and Development.

Services and Development
The Artists’ Services team has been set up to provide a dedicated service for artists’ and artists’ estates’, responding to enquiries relating to Artist’s Resale Right, Copyright Licensing and Payback.

DACS’ business and licensing team will continue to focus on delivering the best possible service to customers seeking to license a member’s work. In 2013 we will be focussing on developing a suite of new services and licences for our customers, including DACS Images, a bespoke contemporary art image bank.

External Relations
DACS’ external relations team will reach out to artists through our online platforms, delivering copyright education and information about our services. We will continue to lobby at UK and European level for legislation supporting and enhancing the rights of artists.

Operations
DACS’ newly-formed operations team will focus on achieving the highest levels of efficiency, ensuring that artists, artists’ estates and customers get the possible service from DACS.

DACS’ Chief Executive Gilane Tawadros says: ‘DACS exists to benefit artists and artists’ estates and our new structure ensures that DACS can offer an outstanding service to our key stakeholders. We are well-placed to continue to find new and innovative ways of generating revenues for artists and artists’ estates in a fast-moving and challenging environment.’
