Commission a piece

A Commission Contract generally includes:

​

1. An Introduction that explains the project, defines the artist and details the specific work that is being commissioned

2. Payment Terms and Agreement that specify the agreement for payment. For commissioned works, we generally ask fifty percent of the agreed-upon price upfront and fifty percent when the commission is complete.

3. The artist owns the copyright of the work after it is finished,  as well as stipulations about if the work is allowed to be exhibited, loaned, etc.

4. An Artwork Proposal that details what the commissioned work will be like. We include a prototype, sketch, or example of similar work.

5. A Termination Agreement that lays out how the agreement could be ended between the artist and commissioner and payment terms/ material cost and shipping if this is the case.
