How does the scheme apply to GLAM organisations?

This section applies to:

  • publicly funded art galleries; and
  • publicly funded museums, libraries, and archives that collect and display artworks (“GLAM”). 

Three ways the Scheme affects GLAM:

  1. GLAM are not Art Market Professionals (AMPs). 
  2. However, resales involving GLAM do fall within the Scheme.  If any GLAM is involved in a resale of original visual artwork it may still count as a “professional resale”  (and therefore a “qualifying resale”).  (See Step 1 of the Criteria to learn what a qualifying resale is). 
  3. GLAM don’t have liability for paying the royalty.  Generally, GLAM aren’t required to report to RRA on qualifying resales either, UNLESS there are no Art Market Professionals involved in the resale.  In that event, then each GLAM  will be responsible for reporting information about the resale to RRA.
