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