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?
