In the course of selecting the medium for commissioned artwork, a number of variables are taken into consideration. Special notice is taken for a preference for a particular material, a certain artistic application, the aesthetic of the decor, the spacial requirements and the budget. Once this is decided upon, a review of many visual representation are presented, leading to the selection of an Artist or a group of Artists.
If the art does not exist and has to be commissioned, an agreement with the Artist is negotiated. A drawing or a "maquet," along with the materials that are to be used are submitted by the artist. However, a fee is required by the artist before they submit this work. This fee is not refundable and is applied to the final cost of the commissioned piece.
Commissioned artwork can take as little as a month to several months to fabricate, depending on the assignment and the schedule of the artist. Since the piece has to be designed specifically for a location, it is essential that all participants have a clear understanding and an open communication as to what their responsibilities are in completing the work to everyone's satisfaction. ACT facilitates this process.
