visual artists pour their heart and soul into their creations, and it’s only fair that they’re afforded legal protections for their works. This is where the Visual Artists Rights Act (“VARA”) comes into play. If you’re an artist looking to safeguard your artistic legacy, this guide is for you. In this blog post, we’ll break down VARA, demystify its complexities, and show you how to use it to your advantage while optimizing for search engines along the way.
Understanding VARA: What Is It?
VARA, the Visual Artists Rights Act, is a federal law in the United States designed to protect the rights of visual artists, which is codified at 17 USC § 106A. It grants qualified artists two fundamental rights: the right of attribution and the right of integrity. It should be noted that this is different than copyright. These rights are separate than copyright and do not transfer when the ownership of a copyright is transferred.
