Comments on: Written Contracts & Agreements (Curious Monday) https://dy-online.com/contracts-cm/ Trusted Art Business Coaching and Consulting Sun, 01 May 2022 03:09:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Margaret Stermer-Cox https://dy-online.com/contracts-cm/#comment-29977 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 22:40:11 +0000 http://artbizsuccess.com/?p=23186#comment-29977 I like having written agreements, especially for hanging art and commissions. For venues, if the venue doesn’t have their own, I draft one for their approval before I show my work. For commissions, I write out expectations and timelines, for me and my client. And, I use this for family members who want a commission as well. When clients or family members balk, I explain its important to communicate intentions beforehand to avoid mis-understandings.
