Fine Art America selected to provide artwork to ABC Studios.

Fine Art America Announces New Sales Program

FineArtAmerica is very pleased to announce that we've been selected to provide artwork for ABC's television series, Desperate Housewives, as part of a pilot program that's going to revolutionize the way that artwork is licensed for use on television.

Designing sets for popular TV shows such as Desperate Housewives is a high-energy, fast-paced business.   With scripts often changing at the last minute, producers and set designers need to be able to design and build new sets in a matter of days.

The process of procuring artwork for these sets is particularly challenging because each piece of artwork that gets used as a prop or set decoration needs to be licensed from the original artist and cleared for use on television.

With limited time on their hands, it can be very difficult for TV producers to find high-quality artwork for their sets... locate the original artists... and then obtain signed licensing agreements from each artist.

Enter... FineArtAmerica.com.

In order to alleviate this problem and simultaneously open up a new sales channel for our artists, FineArtAmerica has worked with producers at ABC Studios to develop a unique program that's going to revolutionize the way that artwork is licensed for use on television.

Effective immediately, all FAA artists can join our new "ABC Studios Licensing Program."   By joining this program, you'll be offering your prints for sale to ABC's producers and set designers, and with a little luck, your prints could end up being used as set decorations or props in upcoming episodes of your favorite TV shows!

This program provides wonderful benefits to both parties.   ABC's producers and set designers get to browse through images from artists who are willing to license their prints for use on television, and FAA's artists get exposed to a new sales channel for selling and promoting their artwork!

If an ABC producer decides to purchase one of your prints, the producer will simply order the print from FAA, and within 2 - 3 days, your print will arrive on set ready-to-hang!   FAA takes care of fulfilling the order, shipping it to the set, collecting payment from ABC, and sending you your profits.   ABC will also send you a separate check per the terms of the licensing agreement.   It doesn't get any easier than that.

For those artists who have always wanted to license their artwork but didn't know how to get started... what better way to start than with ABC Studios!   To learn more about the ABC Studios Licensing Program, please click here.
