An artist proposal is a document that contains the background of the project that is sent to prospective funders to request for funds (sponsorship or grant) or a partnership with another organization. It contains the scope of work and pricing (budget). This project can be an art exhibition, music, dance, or circus performance, composition or film. It should set expectations to encourage the funder to fund the event. An artist proposal is easier to create with a template.
Before you can create your artist proposal, you have to identify the guidelines of the organization you are sending the proposal to (Pen and the Pad). This way, you’ll know what to include in your proposal. For your artist proposals, take a look at Template.net’s printable artist proposal templates. These templates are editable through the website’s user-friendly editor tool. Just click on your chosen template and you will be directed to the editor tool. However, you can also edit these sample templates through various file formats such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, and Adobe PDF. You will be required to sign up for a membership before you can download the template.
According to Data USA, the number of artists employed and related workers, have increased at a rate of 5.09% from 125,498 workers in 2017 to 131,884 workers in 2018. The largest share of artists and related workers belong to independent artists, writers, and performers (19%), followed by motion pictures and video industries (8.74%), and advertising, public relations, and related services (8.65%).
Once the proposal has been accepted by the funder or client, the proposal becomes a legally binding contract between the two parties.
