About
Championing Artists: From Heritage to Emerging Voices
Zolan Licensing Agency is a boutique art licensing agency representing a carefully curated portfolio of global artists, designer brands, and heritage collections. From Nordic fashion icon Ivana Helsinki to the timeless American master Donald Zolan, and a new generation of emerging art brands, the agency unites creativity with commercial opportunity. Our mission is to champion both established and rising talent, giving artists and designers a powerful voice in the global marketplace. By introducing fresh perspectives, distinctive styles, and trend-driven collections, we help transform artistic vision into licensed products that inspire audiences worldwide. At its core, Zolan Licensing Agency believes in art as a bridge—connecting creativity, culture, and commerce in ways that bring beauty, joy, and meaning to everyday life.
Philosophy
At Zolan Licensing Agency, we believe art has the power to awaken joy, spark imagination, and infuse daily life with beauty. Our passion lies in creating original and meaningful collections that not only inspire but also leave people with a lasting sense of happiness and well-being.
We represent a select group of international artists and designers whose work reflects both personal vision and cultural richness. Together, we share a common belief: that art, when guided by authenticity and creativity, becomes a universal language of beauty and connection.
Our philosophy is simple yet profound — to be a company of poetry and artistry, radiating positivity and light through every design we bring to the world.
History
Founded in 2013 by Jennifer Zolan, Zolan Licensing Agency grew from a lifelong passion for art, storytelling, and brand development. For over 20 years, Jennifer Zolan helped build the Donald Zolan brand into a global licensing business while also running a direct marketing business that offered limited-edition collectibles and prints — experiences that shaped her understanding of both brand licensing and consumer markets.
After Donald Zolan’s passing, Jennifer Zolan carried forward his philosophy that art is meant to be shared and enjoyed by the masses. With that belief, she established a boutique agency dedicated to championing fresh, original, and purposeful art. Remaining intentionally small allows Zolan to give personal attention to each artist and partner while focusing on one-of-a-kind designs that carry both beauty and meaning. The agency continues to focus on artists who inspire with their stories, philosophies, and purpose.
Social Mission
At Zolan Licensing Agency, social responsibility is a cornerstone of our values. We believe art has the power not only to inspire but also to uplift humanity, creating opportunities to give back through meaningful initiatives. Many of our artists are personally involved in social projects that support women and children, while others use their creativity to draw attention to and help preserve the planet. Through purposeful licensing programs, we strive to connect art with causes that matter, using creativity as a catalyst for awareness, compassion, and lasting positive change.
Business Mission
As a boutique agency, our mission is deeply personal: to nurture art brands with authenticity, creativity, and care. We work closely with artists and licensing partners to adapt designs thoughtfully for products, develop collections true to their vision, and introduce fresh art styles into the marketplace. Our commitment is to quality, originality, and integrity — values that guide long-term partnerships built on trust and respect. At the same time, we remain dedicated to inspiring young artists to pursue their dreams, offering them a platform where passion and creativity can truly flourish.
