It is a goal of the Illustrator's Partnership to
extend our members' expertise and business experience to students and
professionals alike. In 2001, the Illustrators' Partnership produced
the first IPA roundtable: The Future of Illustration. The roundtable
featured illustrators, artists' and trade representatives, educators,
and lawyers who discussed the ramifications to all artists when some
rightsholders relinquish sole control of licensing rights to stock house "agents" who
underprice work to gain market share for themselves.
This video is the first effort by top professionals in the field to expose
the problem, and to propose both individual and institutional solutions.
It consists of 2 panel discussions taped April 21, 2000 at the New School
in New York City. The event was hosted by Barbara Nessim, artist and Chair
of Parsons School of Design, and moderated by artist and writer Brad Holland,
Founding Partner of the Illustrators' Partnership of America. The IPA distributed
this video free of charge to over 200 art schools and universities.
The IPA is chartered to continue efforts on behalf of its members to inform
college and university art students about the business issues they face
as they begin their illustration careers. More panel discussions are planned
and will be produced in the future.
The IPA hopes to produce for the benefit of all illustrators
varying panel discussions dealing with such topics as pricing illustration,
copyrights
in the digital age and understanding contracts.
We are exploring opportunities to take these panel
discussion on the road. Any art college or university interested in hosting
a panel
discussion
is urged to contact
the IPA
to discuss details.
Thank you.
