| sales, contracts, copyright and royalties |
| sales of originals: i studio will charge approximately 30% above artist base price for any sale of an original/copy
shown. artist base price equals total of artist/designer $fee per hour multiplied by number of hours plus materials
(example: $250/hour to paint x 10 hours is $2500 plus canvas and paints $250 = $2750 artist plus studio commission 30% = total price
of painting/sculpture, etc.).
note: the artist/designer's education, experience, imagination and talent, the buyers market demand, and locations/frequency of exhibits may influence the total price of a piece resales of originals: i studio and the artist will each get 15% of resale price minus sale price for the lifetime of either the original art work, the artist and i studio. (example: if buyer sells original bought at $100 but 10 years later at resale price of $200, calculate $200 minus $100 = $100 x 15% to i studio which is $15 and another 15% to artist which is $15, thus buyer/seller gets $70 from resale.) copyright: i studio shares copyright with artist for commercial reproduction of original art works displayed, even if originals are sold, but interested parties may propose potential commercial usage (reproduction, exhibition, etc.) of artworks to share profits, and/or apply for a per usage licence artist royalties on copies: i studio will share by %percentage royalties to artist for any commercial reproduction of originals contracts: for any projects, products and special events, terms are negotiable depending on mutual agreement between studio i, artists and company note: also, a company's budget may influence the total cost of a product/project events: performers submit their performance fees and requirements to be included in budget along with their bios and playlists, and if there are any promotional and souvenir products such as cds, dvds, videos, t-shirts, etc., a certain percentage of sales will be divided between all participants used. for larger venues, aside from performance fees, a percentage of ticket sales will be divided between participants from the profits after expenses. |
