This podcast is the second of a two part series about licensing artworks. If you haven’t already go back and listen to Licence Your Art Works and Keep Your Copyright to learn all about the general issues involved in licensing. In this podcast we talk about licensing specifically for Indigenous fashion projects and merchandise. We cover collaborations and the things you need to think about when licensing artworks for use in textiles and for fashion.

Donna Robinson, a lawyer with Arts Law, speaks with Dave Giles Kaye from Indigenous Fashion Projects at Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation.

In this podcast Arts Law Centre of Australia lawyer Donna Robinson speaks to Chrischona Schmidt, manager of Ikunji Artists and Jane Supit, Director of the Sydney office of the Australian Government Solicitor, about selling artworks online. We talk about the things to look out for when moving away from solely exhibiting physical works in an art centre or gallery setting. There are pointers on what to be careful about and keep an eye on when setting up on online gallery or store, or when entering into an arrangement with an online gallery. This podcast has some very practical ideas for artists and art centres moving into the online setting and covers things you mightn’t think of like insurance for e-commerce, ensuring a secure payment system, transit and artworks that are part of a deceased estate

Arts Law has created a series of podcasts in partnership with Desart, the peak body for Central Australian Aboriginal Art Centres. This podcast is the first of two parts on licensing artworks in which Arts Law lawyers, Donna Robinson and Suzanne Derry, talk about the legal issues to think about and watch out for when an artist is considering licensing an image of their artwork. Indigenous artists are increasing giving permission (a licence) to another person or organisation to use their image, often on things like merchandise, textiles, fashion, homewares or publications. If the licence is organised well the artist retains the title in the artwork, which they can sell, as well as continuing to own the copyright in the artwork, which are both separate.
