    ACID
    ACID (Anti Copying In Design) is a membership trade organisation, set up as a round table action group in 1996, by designers for designers - now a hard-hitting "not for profit" trade organisation created to combat the growing threats of plagiarism in the design and creative industries. By helping its members to understand and protect their rights, ACID is intent on stamping out intellectual property rights abuse. ACID provides an accessible, practical framework for those who believe that their IP rights have been infringed.
    By maintaining a high profile at exhibitions and trade shows, reinforced by the powerful ACID brand of protection, the organisation also functions as a strong deterrent, on-the-spot advice centre and mediation service.

    ACID's objectives are:
    To change the current culture that it is OK to steal ideas and free ride on another persons design equity.
    To create a safer trading environment in order for creative industries to flourish.
    via education, prevention and deterrence underpinned by support, both at grass roots and through expert intellectual property legal advisors, IP legal and membership hotlines.

    The ACID brand has become a powerful voice within the design community - a voice the organisation intends to be heard across boardrooms where directors would be appalled if anyone accused them of theft of their colleague's watch or wallet but still think it is acceptable to steal ideas and products.

    Londonart.co.uk - Newsletter
    LONDONART.CO.UK, putting art into perspective.
    ARTIST NEWSLETTER

    Our fortnightly guide to your website...

    ARTIST CHOICES
    We have just launched a new area in our online magazine called 'Artist Choices'.
    In 2006 Londonart.co.uk invited a selection of some of our most talented and well-liked artists to curate an online exhibition. Each selector was given the task of bringing together an exhibition of works which would give insight into their own work, and acknowledge the work of their respected contemporaries.
    To create their exhibition, each invited artist was asked to choose ten or more, from over ten thousand artworks exhibited on Londonart. They were also invited to include one of their own artworks to introduce and lead their exhibition, and to supply an informal introduction and context to their choices. My Favourite Choices aims to promote, acknowledge and compliment all of the artists involved - from the selectors to the selected.
    Has your work been selected?

    KEEPING IN TOUCH
    Your Artist Admin contains some really straightforward instructions, advice and information on exhibiting with us. Designed to keep us in touch with you, and put you in touch with each other, the Network is your area to talk to each other and us.

    HELP US TO HELP YOU
    The team has all been working really hard to help raise the profile of Londonart. Already established as Britain's largest art website representing over 950 selected contemporary artists online, we are dedicated to helping you exhibit and sell your work. Each week we send out two newsletters to our growing number of clients from home and abroad. We actively promote your work via press releases, publication and word of mouth and do the best we can to raise every single one of our artists' profile. You could help us by simply talking about us. When was the last time you sent an artecard or told a friend or colleague that they could see your work exhibited on Londonart.co.uk?
