Membership of IVARO is open to all visual creators including Painters, Sculptors, Illustrators, Animators, Photographers, Videographers, Designers, Graphic Artists, Architects, and Cratfspeople.
The estates and copyright heirs of artists may also become members of IVARO during the copyright term of the artists work which is the artists lifetime and for 70 years after the artists death.
What do we Charge?
Membership is free, however, as with all artists collecting societies IVARO is funded on a commission basis from royalties which it collects. This currently stands at 25% for reprography royalties and 15% for Resale Right Royalties. IVARO is a not-for-profit organisation and retains only what is necessary to cover administration costs. IVARO does not take a commission on royalties collected from foreign collecting societies on the basis that they have already taken a percentage to cover their administration costs.
Membership Agreement
Members are required to sign the IVARO Membership Agreement. This is a form of authorisation allowing IVARO to act in it’s members interests and to collect royalties on their behalf. It has the approval of all of the artist members of the Board. All licensing takes place in consultation with the artist and the Agreement does not affect copyright ownership which the artist always retains.
