« Artists and 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. Artists join ADAGP as a leading player and turn to the organization with their concerns about copyright and traceability of their works. »
Christian Jaccard
Member since 1977 and Member of the ADAGP Board of Directors
« 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. »
Thibaut Brunet
Member since 2019 and Winner of the 2019 Artist’s Book Revelation
ADAGP has an even more important role to play to advocate for change and put forward new practices in a system that often forgets that compensation of artists is supposed to be one of the central pillars of artistic creation. Through the issues the organization raises, the support and grants offered, it demonstrates its commitment to artists and shows that other forms of cooperation are possible.

« When one of my books came out, my publisher advised me to join ADAGP and I did. Even if at the time, I had an agent, I very quickly appreciated how available ADAGP advisors are – whether it’s copyright management or for help drafting contracts. It’s by working together in solidarity that artists will be able to face new challenges ahead! »
Alain Bizos
Member since 2006 and Member of the ADAGP Photography Commission
« It seems like every week I’m advising one of my artist friends to join ADAGP. First of all, it makes it possible to receive collective royalties twice a year from our work that is published or exhibited and second, it gives you a trustworthy advisor to call on for relevant and impartial information on all the legal aspects. Their assistance is valid both in France and abroad. »
