Just as there are many types of manufacturers, there are many types of agencies. Some only license art and others sell as prints or on products in addition to their artists’ work. Some represent artists whose work fits only within a niche market such as lodge, western, and country. Others specialize in representing artists whose work is suitable for home decor or patterns for fabrics, clothing, stationery, and scrapbooking. And of course there are some agents who license all kinds of art for all kinds of products. Some represent multiple artists and others represent several hundred artists. Some will sign up artists who are new to licensing, while others will only accept artists who are already well known and have achieved a considerable amount of success. These agencies tend to represent artists who have a unique and recognizable artistic style and are or may become a brand.
So how do you find the right agency for you and where do you find it? Search the following list of over 60 licensing agencies located throughout the United States. Decide if you want a large one to represent your art or a small one. Look at the type of art they represent and see if their artistic themes and style fit together. And finally, if they don’t have submission guidelines listed on their website, call to find out the best way to submit examples of your work.
