Jan's images and words have been widely reproduced in a variety of media, and we are always delighted to receive requests to make use of her work. As with most creative work, there are copyright considerations, and we appreciate your care with these. We know that most people haven't had occasion to think about copyright stuff and may not realize how crucial this is to helping ensure that creative folks can continue to offer the kind of work that's meaningful to you. So we've put together a few guidelines to help make it easy. Any questions, just let us know! (Contact us.)

ARTWORK

We are pleased to make Jan's artwork easily available for use in worship, education, and other settings. We invite you to visit Jan Richardson Images, where you can download high-resolution files of her artwork for printed or projected use in worship and educational settings. You can purchase individual images or, with an annual subscription, you can have access to all the images on the site (within the Guidelines for Use). This permission extends to using downloaded images in settings such as livestreamed worship services.

Jan's artwork has also appeared widely in formats that include books, magazines and journals, curriculum resources, posters, banners, and newsletters. For these and other uses that lie beyond the standard Guidelines for Use, please send us an image permission request, and we’ll be pleased to be in conversation.
