In general, the AFA will allow access and use of images of artwork from our collection for educational purposes. However, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts acts in accordance with Canadian Copyright Law and images required for commercial purposes may be subject to royalties and fees paid to the copyright holder.
We negotiate agreements with artists, or with their agents or artwork copyright holders, to create a digital image of the artwork for sharing online. Royalties and fees to use artwork imagery for commercial purposes not related to the AFA must be negotiated by the artist, or their agent, and the third party. Our staff can help put you in touch with an appropriate contact to discuss image reproduction rights.
