What is a shared copy right?
A shared copy right will simply allow the artist complete control over their work outside of the agreement with the National Park Service. NPS will have complete assess to reproduction and use rights of your donated work and will retain ownership of the work but the artist will share those rights. This gives NPS the ability to include artists’ work in publications or educational programming without requiring a possibly extensive search for individual permission from the artists, while allowing the artist to also use their work for their own purposes.
