OnLineArt is the One-stop-shop for worldwide
licenses on works of fine art for uses on the World Wide Web - be it

interests' represented by their visual arts collective management societies.
New technologies offer new opportunities for broad dissemination of works to a
large interested public.
OnLineArt recognises the strong market demand for
easy legal access to content and offers a market solution based on best
practise and know-how. At the same time OnLineArt
ensures that authors' interests are protected and that they are rewarded when
their works are exploited by others.

find themselves in an environment where the value they add to teh culture
scene and growth of economy is equitably rewarded. The members of OnLineArt
