The artists' one stop website to learn the art of licensing
ArtLicensingInfo.com is a new low-cost, high power one-stop shop for artists who want to learn how to turn their creations into cash. Tara Reed, stay-at-home mom turned successful artist and licensor, created ArtLicensingInfo.com because, as she puts it, “I wanted to combine my business background, art licensing experience, and love of teaching to help artists grow their business without breaking the bank.”
Tara Reed created ArtLicensingInfo.com in 2008, and in 2009 Paul Brent, multiple-award winning artist, came on board to offer his experience, perspective, and expertise. Both agree with Reed’s assessment that “Business is like a parade—there are always people ahead of you to help you find your way and people behind you who need a helping hand.”
Before ArtLicensingInfo.com, if artists wanted a helping hand, they had to attend expensive trade shows or hire hourly-paid coaches to have access to these resources. Now artists have a comprehensive and inexpensive collection of educational materials from two artists who have already successfully navigated the complicated landscape of art licensing.
ArtLicensingInfo.com offers a wide range of low-cost resources such as e-books (e.g. How to Get Started in Art Licensing and How to Find, Interact, and Work with Manufacturers Who License Art), teleseminars, and pre-recorded audio files. Artists also benefit from a host of free resources, including monthly live calls with Reed and Brent (based on questions submitted by artists), blogs, newsletters, artist forums, and several invaluable resources that have been useful to Reed and Brent.
Reed has been a full-time licensed artist for more than six years and has worked with more than 25 different licensees. Brent sold his first artwork in 1976 and in 2008 he was listed #94 in License! Global Magazine’s top 100 Licensing Companies—most of this list is comprised of large corporations, movie and TV studios, and the like. In addition, Brent was nominated by the Licensing Industry Merchandisers’
