Being commissioned to make an artwork can give time, money, recognition and validation. However, getting any commission is the start of the process and not the end.
We take a look at some of the practical considerations and complications that may arise during this process, including:
- managing stakeholders
- artists’ rights
- managing your finances and possible effects on benefits
- reading and understanding contracts
- what you can do if your ideas or plans change
The session is designed to help you focus on creating your new work and ensuring your own wellbeing.
