CRÉATIVE BILL OF RIGHTS
OUR COMMITMENT TO CRÉATIVESAt CRÉATEUR Gallery, we believe Créatives are not inventory, commodities, or content to be consumed. They are the creators of culture, the storytellers of communities, and the visionaries who shape how we experience the world.
The Créative Bill of Rights serves as our commitment to every creative we work with and the principles that guide our exhibitions, partnerships, and programming.
1. THE RIGHT TO OWNERSHIPCréatives retain full ownership of their creative work at all times.

2. THE RIGHT TO COPYRIGHTCréatives retain full copyright and intellectual property rights to their work.
Créatives maintain control over how their work is reproduced, licensed, sold, or otherwise used beyond the limited permissions granted for exhibition promotion and documentation.

Career direction
Participation in a CRÉATEUR Gallery exhibition does not restrict a Créative’s ability to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
OUR PROMISECRÉATEUR Gallery exists to champion creatives by creating opportunities, cultivating connections, and expanding access to meaningful audiences.
We believe curators should be compensated for the opportunities they create and the experiences they design.
We believe Créatives should be compensated for the work they create.
By separating curatorial compensation from creative work commissions, we strive to build a more equitable, sustainable, and Créative-centered model for creative exhibition and cultural engagement.
This is our commitment. This is the standard we hold ourselves to. This is the foundation of CRÉATEUR Gallery.
