When collecting artworks:
- For existing artworks purchased from galleries, the architect/client will pay the gallery directly for 85% of the total price of the artwork, plus sales tax (to be invoiced by the gallery), with the remaining 15% to be paid directly to AtA at the completion of the collecting process.
- For existing artworks purchased directly from artists not represented by galleries, the architect/client will pay the artist for 75% of the total price of the artwork, plus sales tax (to be invoiced by the artist), with the remaining 25% to be paid directly to AtA at the completion of the collecting process.
- Receipts for associated costs, such as framing of artworks, may be submitted by the architect/client to AtA to be considered as qualifying expenditures toward the projec's Art Achievement level. AtA will take no fees on these expenses.
When commissioning new temporary or permanent artworks:
- Once a total budget for the commissioned art project is established, AtA will be paid a flat fee for its services (determined in relation to the total budget of the commissioned project.) This total budget will include artist fee, materials and installation costs, as well as associated site alterations in some cases, such as art-specific lighting, etc.) The selected artist will be contracted directly for a set amount by the architect/client for their scope of work. See commission fee chart.
Note: All fees paid to AtA will
be counted toward the final Art Achievement level.
