About Viscopy
- Viscopy was set up by artists for artists in 1995. It provides licensing services on behalf of 11,500 Australian and New Zealand visual arts members. These licences allow their artworks to be reproduced in return for fair payment. We also advocate for creator’s rights on their behalf.
- Viscopy also manages international artists in Australia and New Zealand, as well as Australian and New Zealand artists’ work being used abroad via reciprocal agreements with 45 visual arts rights management agencies around the world.
- In July 2012, Viscopy entered into a services arrangement with the Copyright Agency. Known as Copyright Agency | Viscopy, the mission of this partnership is to help build a more resilient creative economy where new artistic expression is valued and artists are acknowledged and financially rewarded for their work.
- Copyright Agency l Viscopy is the major sponsor and producer of the John Fries Award for emerging artists. Two of this year’s finalists are New Zealand artists.
- Since 9 June 2010, Australian artists have been eligible to receive a 5% royalty on certain resales of their work under the resale royalty scheme, which is administered by the Copyright Agency by government appointment. The scheme has generated more than $3.5m in royalties from more than 1,000 artists. Over 65% of the artists receiving royalties are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artists.
