Curious about how art licensing really works—from the creative side to the business side? In this panel, two presenters share what it takes to get your work licensed and what happens after the ink dries. You’ll learn the basics of licensing, from key terms and types of agreements to finding the right partners, getting paid, and deciding whether licensing or selling outright makes sense for you.

We’ll also dig into the process and costs from the maker’s perspective—what it takes to bring licensed art to life on products, where to find opportunities, and which networking events are worth your time. (We may touch on general pricing, but no legal advice will be given.)

Stick around for Q&A to get your specific questions answered.
