Creative Rights for Creative People

Curious about copyright? One of the challenges we creative people face is that common knowledge of copyright is sometimes at variance with the actual law, leading to misunderstandings, infringements and confusion.

Let's talk about knowing and protecting our rights, why they exist and the cultural and financial value of our work and rights.  We'll also discuss users’ privileges, contracts and agreements, understand how to identify infringement, and how to deal with it.

The new Resale Royalty for Visual Artists legislation comes into effect on December 1, 2024, so let’s get ahead of it and understand how this will be enacted, and what it means for us, as artists, as art market professionals (businesses involved in the valuation and sale of art) and GLAM (Publicly funded galleries, libraries, archives and museums).

In this engaging session, presented by Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) and Resale Royalties Aotearoa, Karen Workman will be giving us an overview of our rights as creators, building our basic understanding of Copyright and using that information to build stronger artistic business practices.
