Art licensing is a powerful way to share your creativity with a broader audience while earning passive income from your work.
By licensing your art, you can collaborate with brands, publishers, and manufacturers who use your designs on products like stationery, home goods, apparel, and more. It’s an exciting opportunity for artists to reach new markets without needing to manage production or inventory themselves.
Over the years, I’ve learned that art licensing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. It’s about understanding the process, presenting your portfolio in a way that attracts the right clients, and negotiating contracts that protect your work and provide clear terms.
To help other artists feel confident in this space, I’ve created a straightforward art licensing contract template, along with resources below that break down the essentials of licensing.
