ADAGP Rights Collection: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how visual artists and photographers can collect royalties from the resale of their work and public displays.
This scheme is a system that allows creators to collect royalties from the resale of their original works and from instances where their art is displayed in public.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically for visual artists and photographers working in France. If you create original visual works, you may be eligible to participate in this rights collection system to ensure you are compensated when your work moves through the art market.
What you get
The main benefit is the collection of royalties. This includes payments stemming from the resale of your original works, often referred to as resale rights. Additionally, you can receive royalties from the public display of your art. These funds are intended to ensure that creators receive a portion of the value generated when their work is exhibited or sold through various channels.
What it costs you
To benefit from this system, you must take the time to complete the registration of your works. This involves the administrative task of documenting and formally registering your creative output so that the organization can accurately track and manage your rights.
The catch to know
A common misunderstanding is the belief that these rights only apply to traditional painters. However, the scheme is broader than that, extending its protections and collection capabilities to include photographers and other visual artists.
