Fair Use For Artist
Many art forms have a written document called "Best Practices" to guide artist in the fair use of copyrighted materials. Several are linked below for review from the Center for Social Media website. It is recommended that if you are working within an art form you seek out the Best Practices document. Beware, "Best Practice" documents are not protection form the law. Such documents are now lawful, but rather act as a guideline so artist can work creatively within copyright's boundaries and not end up sewing each other.
If you are in need of a "best practice" document, try search engine using key terms "Best Practices" "Fair Use" "(name of art form)". If you still struggle, ask your local librarian to help you locate the document.
Code of Best Practices: Fair Use for Poetry
Poetry, “relies on the poet’s ability to quote, to copy, and to “play” with others’ language” (20..). The code provides poets with a reference to ensure that they are not violating copyright practices. It enables poets to build a culture of fair use, but is not a legal document. Most artforms have written thier own "Best Practices" for fair use.

The Dance Heritage Coalition designed the code for dance materials so librarians, curators and archivist are familiar with best practices when working with dance materials. According to the authors, "dance holdings include one-of-kind items" that are in many forms including personal papers, documentary video types, books and journals. Because the artifacts are vulnerable and need replication for preservation and sharing, a code is needed.
