Artists' Contracts: Agreements for Visual and Media Artists is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide to the “dos and don'ts” of written contracts. Artists' Contracts is a valuable resource to all artists, emerging and established, on their legal rights. It serves as an important educational primer, providing information on the essentials of contractual agreements, tips on how to draft and negotiate contracts, and advice on what to do if disputes should arise. It also introduces general legal terms found in most contracts, and includes comprehensive notes. Written in plain language, Artists' Contracts offers the necessary tools to help artists negotiate contracts effectively and to their benefit.

Furthermore, coming this September, Artists' Contracts will be available in an electronic fillable pdf form format. You have the option to purchase the entire book in pdf, or pick and choose individual contracts as you need. Click here to see sample pages.

“This manual is a godsend. Too many contracts are vague, and too many artists sign them without clarifying their rights and expectations. Written in simple, straightforward language, with handy checklists, these sample contracts give you the tools to ensure fair treatment and payment, and to forestall potential conflicts. The more artists use these contracts, the greater will be their general acceptance by galleries, community organizations, dealers and other institutions.” - Robin Pacific, Artist
