A Commission Contract generally includes:

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