  Artist - Art Centre Agreement


If you paint for an art centre, it is important that you understand what the art centre should do for you.

The way that an art centre operates varies from community to community.

Some art centres pay part of the money to the artist up front. When this happens the art work belongs partly to the artist and partly to the art centre.

Other art centres ask artists to pay for their paints and other materials. This money is given back to the artist when they bring the work in to the art centre for sale or the work is sold.

Some places just take the work and put it on display. When the work sells, the artist gets paid.

In some communities art centres pay artists with CDEP and the artist may get some extra money if the work sells for more.
No matter what sort of system is used at your art centre, it is important for you to understand what is going on.

It is also important that art centres know what should happen to art work when someone passes away.

A contract like this one allows the art centre to sell your work and look after things like copyright. In return, the art centre pays you for the work, looks after the painting, writes the documentation and keeps financial records about the sale of the art work.

This contract is only for work done for art centres, not private canvases.
