Commissioned Artwork

Why commission artwork?

Truth be known commissions are very common in the art world.

Art Commissions are a very personal process for everyone involved. But nothing can substitute the feeling when you receive a one-of-a-kind art piece, tailor-made for you and your collection.

Your reason for a commissioned art piece can be very uniquely personal;
  • You need a particular color scheme or subject matter,
  • Perhaps you need a particular sized piece to complement your living space,
  • You are looking for something more distinctly individual to what is out there,
  • You want an affordable art piece for your personalised collection,
  • A gift for a special someone, 
  • A suitably uplifting piece to fit your business ,
  • You want a “brand” piece to visually identify your corporate colours or brand,
  • Or just to impress friends & family.
  • You want a cherished heirloom piece of art to pass down your family line for them to enjoy for generations to come.
  • To invest in authentic works of art as your alternative less volatile investment strategy.

Making Your Decision

  • Do you have a vision for your artwork? 
  • Will your artwork be based on another Jacki Archibald piece of art (remembering that it won't be an exact copy, as it's impossible due to Jacki's organic technique and style) or will it be a completely new and different, more personalised art piece of your choice?
  • What size is the wall space you are wanting to fill?
  • What's your design colour pallet? What's your budget and time needs?
  • What don't you like (colours, textures, images, etc.)?
  • Type of finish and framing?
  • Delivery or shipping methods?
  • We will guide you through these questions and more with our trouble-free process.

Collaborate with Jacki

​Once you're ready and you have defined your needs, you and Jacki will create a written agreement containing all the details of the commissioned artwork. It's important to make sure everyone sticks to their part of the arrangement to get the best results. A commissioned art agreement includes the following detail:

  • Project  Description - The contract starts with a clear description of everything you verbally agreed upon in your meeting - the type of art work, size, placement (room & wall), colors, materials, texture, medium, composition details, theme or subject matter (if any), general descriptions and timeline. 
  • Process - Jacki will detail her requirements (if any).  How often and when you will receive visual updates and compositional previews (prototype, sketch, progress photos, etc.), the method of communication (email, text message, phone call, etc.) and in what form (high-resolution images &/or videos). We will determine and agree on who arranges final shipment, handling, installation and any duty / tax / charges, either nationally or internationally, if applicable (client or artist).  
  • Price & Payment Agreement - The negotiated proposal price as quoted. We then require a 50:50 installments structure, requiring payment of 50% upfront and the rest when the artwork is completed. 
  • Copyright - As the artist, Jacki legally retains all rights to the commissioned art piece. Where possible we collaboratively consider your preferences as to the piece being featured in the Jacki Archibald portfolio and website, and would be delighted to borrow the art piece for any future exhibitions. We are open to discuss and negotiate any reasons or requirements as to why you may not want the art piece to be featured publicly and will ensure what is decided is state in our agreement.
  • Shipping Arrangements - Prior to the artwork being completed we will explore shipping & handling options to safeguard that the artwork it arrives securely to its location. We are more than happy to take care of all arrangements.
  • Timeline - Turnaround time for a commissioned artwork by Jacki Archibald is estimated approximately 3 -4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the creation process and size of the works. Our agreement will clearly state deadlines for drafts, previews (and their approval­), and the time needed to complete and deliver the work to your designated location, so that you can rest at ease knowing what to expect.
