What should be in the written artist terms before anyone says yes?
For CAN-AL, I am treating artist confirmation as something that should only happen after the terms are clear, not just after someone fills in an interest form.
Working checklist so far:
- exact dates and working hours
- wall, board, or live-painting surface
- who owns the surface and who has approved it
- materials and who supplies them
- access, ladders/scaffold/lifts, and weather plan
- fee/support, travel, accommodation, and meals where relevant
- copyright, photography, and credit
- insurance and safety expectations
- cancellation or postponement plan
- what happens if the site or brief changes
What would you want in writing before accepting a first-year public-art or mural festival spot?
