Document background
The Artist Non-Disclosure Agreement is essential in Nigeria's growing creative industry where protection of unreleased works, creative processes, and proprietary techniques is crucial. This document is typically used when artists engage with production companies, galleries, agencies, or other industry partners where confidential information needs to be shared during creative collaborations. It addresses specific requirements under Nigerian law, including provisions from the Copyright Act and Trade Secrets Protection Act, while considering the unique nature of artistic work. The agreement is particularly relevant given the increasing international visibility of Nigerian creative industries and the need to protect intellectual property during development stages. It covers various forms of confidential information including unreleased artworks, creative methodologies, client information, and business strategies, while allowing for necessary artistic expression and collaboration.
