Fine Art Trade Guild : Original Art Register Launches

Post by Ian Kenny Framing »

There are many artist/framers and photographer/framers who use this forum, so the following is relevant to them, and it's also relevant to framers who want to show their artist/photographer clients that they are interested in what they do. Original Art Register from the Fine Art Trade Guild launched on 3rd June, and is open to all. It does not require membership of the Guild in order to participate, although members do benefit from preferential registration rates.

At the Fine Art Trade Guild we believe that artists and photographers should be able to make a living from their intellectual property. We can help you to achieve this by providing a secure, independent, low cost registry of original art and photography.
Artists, photographers and their publishers have looked to the Fine Art Trade Guild for help and guidance since its foundation as the Printsellers Association in 1847. The Guild’s print register has helped galleries, art dealers and collectors to establish provenance for reproduction prints.
We created the Original Art Register in 2016 to document original designs and provide proof of ownership of your images. Strengthen your stand against illegal use of your works of art and show the world that you are serious about protecting your intellectual property and that you are aware of your rights of ownership. In the event of a copyright challenge the proof of a registered date by an independent body would be an invaluable asset for the designer to help prove ownership.
