This template Copyright Licence – Art Centre Logo should be used when the art centre wants to create a business logo from an existing Indigenous artwork (Artwork).
If a business other than the Artist’s own art centre wishes to use the Artwork as a business logo, a more detailed licence agreement will be appropriate. This agreement is a very simple agreement suitable for use where the licensing organisation is a non-profit community art centre (Art Centre) of which the Artists is a member.
If the artist is being commissioned to create a special image, Arts Law’s template Commission Agreements (Public and Private) are more appropriate. Contact Arts Law if you are unsure.
This template agreement:
- assumes that the artist is the owner of copyright in the artwork (Artist);
- includes the most common terms that the artist and the Art Centre will need to consider and agree on; and
- provides for a licence, rather than an assignment, of copyright. This means that the Artist retains ownership of all rights and interests, including copyright, in the artwork.
This agreement is also available as part of our Copyright Licence Toolkit – Art Centres.
