Frequently asked questions
What do I need to register?
Your name and contact details, location, art practice, artist statement, portfolio link if available, chosen membership plan, and payment reference if already paid.
What does membership cover?
Membership record, artist profile pathway, access to member communications and available resources, and information about announced opportunities. Specific events, sales, representation, DID verification, CAWG signing and artwork certification are not automatically included.
Does membership guarantee exhibitions or sales?
No. Each opportunity has its own selection and terms. Membership does not guarantee representation, exhibitions, sales or collector introductions.
What is a DID?
A Decentralized Identifier is an identifier designed for digital identity. Providing one does not by itself prove control of it; any verification is a separate step.
What is CAWG?
CAWG creator assertions are a way to express creator-related claims in compatible content-credential workflows. Signing and verification require separate technical processes.
Does LE:SA membership certify my artwork through CEPS or C2PA?
No. Artwork provenance research and C2PA-related checks are distinct processes with their own requirements.
How do I pay?
