Live Event Artist Contract

$497.00
Description

Whether you're painting a first dance at a black-tie ballroom or sketching guests at an intimate backyard celebration, this is the contract every live event artist needs. This done-for-you contract template is ready to go with an attorney's stamp of approval—no clauses or addendums required. After you receive instant access to the template, all you have to do is make a few quick changes to ensure the template is aligned with your brand. Then, it's off to the races. You can count on this comprehensive, iron-clad contract to serve you well for years to come.

What's Inside:

This 26-section agreement covers everything unique to live event artistry—from workspace requirements and non-interference clauses to post-event studio completion and intellectual property protection. It addresses the issues other contracts miss: vendor meals, parking, breaks, travel fees, harassment protections, and what happens when environmental conditions impact your work.

This Contract Covers Situations Like:

  • When a guest won't stop hovering over your easel or giving unsolicited creative direction
  • When the venue sticks you in a dark corner with no space to work
  • When the client wants to use your painting in their business marketing
  • When you need to finish the piece in your studio after the event
  • When a client initiates a chargeback after you've delivered
  • When you're traveling for a destination wedding and need expenses covered
  • When someone posts your work on social media without credit

Best Suited For:

Live event painters, wedding artists, sketch artists, illustrators, and any fine artist who creates custom artwork on-site at weddings, corporate events, or private celebrations.
