Summary of Good Practice Recommendations

Organisations have a responsibility to:

• follow the law and best practice when seeking approvals from artists, publishing images of artworks, and respecting copyright, moral rights and IP (see Intellectual Property) and ICIP (see First Nations)

• follow platform policies

• check for accuracy when posting or resharing content

• address guidelines with employees

• carry out risk assessments

• follow good practice for accessibility and inclusion (see Access Rights for d/Deaf and Disabled People and Racial Equity and Representation)

• clearly outline agreements with influencers

• monitor community engagement (including reporting, blocking or deleting content/followers)

• seek external assistance if complex issues arise

• maintain a duty of care for their staff, artists and collaborators

Artists have a responsibility to:

• consider a separation of public vs private content they share online

• weigh up the benefits and risk of sharing work online (notably due to most platforms having a non-exclusive royalty free licence for material shared)

• flag any concerns or existing online issues with exhibiting organisations

• notify exhibiting organisations if they receive negative attention due to their work being shared online

• follow accessibility and inclusion best practices, (see Access Rights for d/Deaf and Disabled People and Racial Equity and Representation)

• report infringements of copyright if they see their work published without permission
