In the course of giving the audience an unforgettable experience, a valuable piece of artwork is produced.  This opens up several options for paying for Dan’s services:

• The Festival or Event may fund the painting, stipulate the subject matter and keep the finished product.  If the final painting is of the event itself, the artwork may be used for marketing purposes for future events.

• The Festival/Event organizers may find

a corporate or private sponsor or sponsors.

Those sponsors then may request specific

subject matter and the final painting or

paintings are given to them.

• The organizers may opt for “Plan B” (see Pricing Guidelines, below) which costs less and allows Dan to conduct a silent or live auction and sell the painting to the highest bidder.

• A Festival may auction off one of Dan’s paintings at a fundraiser event later in the year to help defray the cost of hiring Dan to paint at the event.

• Any combination of all of the above.

RATES are sometimes negotiable depending on the size and history of the festival or event.  Travel and lodging expenses may be added to the stipend. Detailed pricing is listed on the .pdf Pricing Guidelines, below---
