Artists are speaking

Christian Jaccard
«So many artists with so many different creative techniques, along with rightholders who are members of ADAGP unanimously recognize the organization’s competence, expertise and enormous availability. ADAGP’s missions and actions are incomparable, giving it a strong position in a complex cultural environment that can often lead to strife. That’s why joining ADAGP is indispensable. »

Olivier Masmonteil
« You’ve got to become a member ADAGP because they protect artists. Plus, with ADAGP, you’re never alone. They defend artists when they are in a weaker position and provide advice on copyright management. Together artists can be stronger and ADAGP offers this connection between all artists - advocating for our voice to be heard. »

« When you have a career as an artist, it’s really important to get support and help to keep up with everything. ADAGP is one of the organizations that can play this role and fight for our rights. It really moved me to see ADAGP, CIPAC and FRAAP file action with the Council of State demanding exhibition spaces be allowed to open again in 2020. »
