Hi Julia and PAN,

 

RE: Sample artist agreement for an artist-in-residence

 

We recently hired an artist to work with us for a very brief artist-in-residence. Below is a sampling of what was done for the scope (we used the standard template for our department, which is mostly geared towards performing artist groups). We were working on a tight deadline and budget - but for a larger scale project with more time and dedicated funding, we would definitely run this through our legal team too. Hope this helps!

Additional supporting documents are attached to this document and as specified below in section 1.2.  All technical details will be discussed and resolved with the designated Project Manager for (Commissioning Agency).

Subject: Sample artist agreement for an artist-in-residence

 

Hello, colleagues!

 

If anyone has hosted an artist-in-residence with a government agency, I’d love to see a sample contract/agreement.  I’m particularly interested in how you’ve phrased the scope of work.

 

Thanks!!

 

Best,
