Annotated Model Public Art Commission Agreement

A contract is the cornerstone of the understanding and agreement between an agency or individual commissioning a work of public art and the artist creating the commissioned public art. As the field of public art has grown and matured over the last several decades, various local, state and federal laws regulating contractual agreements have become increasingly sophisticated, complicated and at times difficult to navigate. As a result, public art commissioning agreements, or contracts, have also grown subsequently more complex. This annotated model agreement addresses many of the most current requirements and considerations of a contractual agreement to commission a work of art and is provided as a service to the field.

This document provides discussion of a number of issues and points typically found in a commission agreement and is intended primarily as a reference and educational resource.
