An artist statement is a not-too-long series of sentences that describe what you make and why you make it. It's a stand-in for you, the artist, talking to someone about your work in a way that adds to their experience of viewing that work.
It is a legal agreement that binds the Artist and the Company to fulfill all the terms and conditions contained in it. All Individual Artist Agreements must be in compliance with the respective Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Contracts like an artist agreement help avoid miscommunications and confusion over the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved. Artist agreements typically include availability expectations, performance markers, and licensing or ownership rights of the works created during the partnership.
An artist licensing agreement allows an artist while retaining full copyright ownership of their work, to grant permission to another party to use their art.
A good artist contract sets forth the deliverables for the project being completed. This usually includes all details regarding project timeframes, the type of work being completed, the number of revisions expected, and the delivery dates.
No certification or licensing is required for artists. Those who work as public school elementary and secondary art teachers must be licensed under regulations established by the state in which they teach. Artists who own art galleries typically must be licensed by their city or local government.
What is a Licensing Agreement? A licensing agreement is a contract between two parties (the licensor and licensee) in which the licensor grants the licensee the right to use the brand name, trademark, patented technology, or ability to produce and sell goods owned by the licensor.
