Arts Law Centre of Australia

While well-known artists have hailed from the Utopia region for years, as a community-owned and governed entity, the Utopia Art Centre opening in 2020 was a significant event.

For many people, the cost of talking with a lawyer deters them from seeking legal advice. It is why Arts Law provides free and low-cost legal advice to help artists overcome this obstacle.

When a third party wishes to manufacture and sell merchandise with an Artist’s work on it Arts Law's Copyright Licence – Merchandise – Third Party should be used 👉 https://buff.ly/3ezJyXw This template agreement assumes that the Artist owns the copyright in the licensed Image and is therefore the licensing party.

You can learn more about Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property with Arts Law's video resource during #NAIDOC2024 👉 https://buff.ly/3L56wm4 Our website is also host to free and low-cost resources helping artists and those collaborating with them to follow best practice on ICIP.

Arts Law is working on our website today. You can still access our resources and legal query form, however you may experience some disruption whilst accessing these. Thank you for your patience whilst we launch an improved website experience for our clients, customers, and visitors.
