Tips for Artists; How to Work on Commission << Back to Articles for Artists Pretty much all artists are presented with offers to produce works of art on commission at points in their careers. Unfortunately, many have had what looked to be a golden opportunities turn into unmitigated nightmares. The following tips and pointers on expect when commissioned to do an artwork and how to approach commissions in general will not only help you avoid problems, but will help you identify situations when the best approach is to just say no. To begin with, working on commission, creating a work of art on spec from scratch for someone other than yourself, is totally different than selling a finished piece at a show, at a gallery, or out of your studio. Selling a completed work of art is an event; producing a work of art on commission for another party is a relationship.

Artist Tips to be Famous and Make Lots of Money << Back to Articles for Artists Q: Could you please look at my art, and tell me what you think? Also, what do you think of my website? A: Artists send out tons of these random requests to art business professionals like myself, messages in bottles tossed onto the sea, believing that someone somewhere will ultimately respond-- perhaps the Good Fairy, perhaps the White Knight, perhaps me-- and rescue them, and whoosh them away to fame, fortune, and scrillions of dollars. Emailing people you don't know and asking them to do a bunch of stuff for you for free does not help. You have no idea who they are either. The belief that you can hawk your art, without qualification or recommendation, to galleries and agents all over the face of the earth until someone falls in love with it to the point where they take on all of your business affairs and leave you to toil happily away in the studio is a fantasy. As for the galleries and agents you're asking, they only show art they think they can sell.
