Artists / Galleries / Creative Teams
PMFA values artists and plans to work with a number of artists on a pro bono basis to assist in their professional development. The services we provide will include developing and updating the artist’s portfolio, sending proposals to galleries and/or museums, communicating with potential venues for exhibitions and customers for commissions, negotiating contracts, and promoting the artist’s work so that it is seen by the right people. We would act as an artist manager until such time that our contract expires or the artist finds representation from a gallery.
Once we have secured a commission, consignment or exhibition for the artist, then the artist will contract PMFA to receive a commission of the percentage of artwork sales or fees.
