Important COVID-19 Update
We are here to support our artists and arts community. During this crisis, Copyright Visual Arts will continue to be open for work with our employees working online from home. We will continue to make it a priority to mail royalty cheques to artists in these difficult financial times. We will also continue to provide galleries with quotes and licenses, but we appreciate your patience since we may not be able to do this as promptly as normal due to the fact that we also need to deal with and adapt to the immediate crisis as well. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
