Thinking about creating mosaic art for others can seem intimidating and overwhelming. If you’ve never accepted a commission for a custom work of art, you may wonder:
What kinds of commissions are out there?
How do you find clients?
What if your best friend/auntie/neighbor wants you to “make something for them”?
What options are best for design presentations?
How much do you charge? HOW do you figure that out?
Negotiating the details seems hard!
What happens after you say YES??
Join experienced artist Dianne Sonnenberg as she clarifies the commission process. Learn about different types of commissions, how to go about the process from start to finish, how to manage the paperwork and finances, working with clients of all kinds, and what to do when challenges arise.
Dianne has worked with a wide range of clients over her career, expanding her scope of experience. You will gain valuable information that you can use in your own art practice, with plenty of time for Q&A after her presentation.
