European Arts Council

Celebrating, safeguarding, and sharing Europe’s finest original artwork since 1972.
We are a governing body dedicated to managing, protecting, and promoting original, hand-painted creations by Europe’s most esteemed artists.

About Us

The European Arts Council is more than a gallery—it’s a collective mission. Governed by a distinguished council of artists from leading European societies, we manage the copyrights and sales of exclusively owned, original artworks. We champion artists across the continent by offering:

Royalty Management
facilitating international sales while honoring Europe’s droit de suite, ensuring artists benefit from secondary market resales
Global Exposure
presenting artists to a global audience of art enthusiasts, with high-caliber care akin to top galleries.
Governance You Can Trust
decisions are made by respected artist society members, putting creators first and ensuring fair, transparent stewardship.

Our Roles & Responsibilities

Copyright Steward
Maintain and enforce artists' exclusive rights using legal frameworks like the Resale Rights Directive
Sales & Licensing
Manage the sale of originals and licensing to institutions, merchants, and collectors worldwide

Artist Advocacy

Council Governance
Guided by a council of Europe’s most respected artist society leaders, we reflect the artistic community's highest standards.

Why its Matters:
