Document background
The Artist Collaboration Agreement is essential for creative professionals working together on artistic projects in the Netherlands. This document becomes necessary when two or more artists decide to collaborate on a creative work, whether it's a single project or an ongoing partnership. The agreement, governed by Dutch law, covers crucial elements such as intellectual property rights under the Auteurswet, financial arrangements, creative control, and attribution rights. It's particularly important in the Dutch creative sector where collaborative works are common and require clear legal frameworks to protect all parties' interests. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and rights allocation at the outset of the collaboration, while ensuring compliance with Dutch and EU regulations regarding artistic works and copyright protection.
