Art is more than an image, an object or an expression of creativity. It represents identity, imagination, experience and the human stories that artists share with the world.
This video from WIPO introduces the visual arts section of CLIP (Creators Learn Intellectual Property), an educational initiative designed to help artists and creators understand the art world, their copyright and the rights they hold over their creative work.
Through the voices of visual artists working across different disciplines and mediums, the video highlights an essential message: creativity deserves protection, recognition and respect.
As one artist explains:
“As artists, we may push boundaries through our work, but to protect our work we need to understand the boundaries of copyright.”
But what art is protected by copyright? What rights do creators really have? Who controls how an artwork is reproduced, exhibited, shared or adapted? And how can artists ensure they receive the recognition and financial value their work deserves?
The video encourages us to consider these important questions and recognise why it is so important for artists to understand their rights from the very beginning of their creative journeys.
This is about more than copyright ownership. It is about authorship, attribution, licensing, creative control and protecting the integrity and intention behind an artwork.
It is also about the future.
Discover the CLIP Visual Arts learning resources and explore how copyright, creator rights and licensing can help protect your creative practice and artistic legacy.
