Kirsten Chursinoff - Commissioning an Artist

	Commissioning an Artist
	Chickadee	“Customize the artwork for your office or home.”
	What does it mean? This is the act of ordering a unique piece of artwork directly from the artist. It can be as simple as choosing the size and subject matter or can involve more details and become a collaborative process. It is a great way to bring artistic expression to your home or office. How does it work? Commissioning an artist can be a rewarding experience. It makes the artwork personal and the resulting “one of a kind piece” enhances your collection. Some things to keep in mind include: the artist’s personal style, your size requirements, budget, framing, colour, shape and subject matter. You can commission artwork for your home, office or as a gift. Usually the terms include a deposit of 50% and payment upon completion. By commissioning an artist you support his or her career and further the development of their art.
