WORDS TO LIVE BY

Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall noted in her memorandum and order that she found merit in Roberts’s argument, saying that “the confusing similarity between the Roberts Collages and the [Richard Beavers] Gallery Collages have already caused, and will continue to cause, irreparable loss of reputation and goodwill to [Roberts] because customers will cease to distinguish between the [respective collages] and might falsely ascribe the ‘poor quality’” of the Edwards artworks to her own. - Copyright Case Between Deborah Roberts and Richard Beavers Gallery ‘Amicably Resolved’ - via ARTnews

Our 2025 Workbook is out and available for sale on our website. Our weekly creative challenge remains free and open to everyone and everything, digital or analog artists, French or not. The workbook is an optional add-on for those who prefer to work with paper and don’t want to print our images themselves. Like every year, the book is designed so that you can either take it apart or create your collages in the book itself. Week numbers and image sources are on the back of each image, so even if your books falls apart at one point, you will always know what’s what!
And last but not least, have a look at our second Instagram account Paris Collage Collective Unlimited where we showcase collages that have absolutely nothing to do with our weekly creative challenge.
