The Total Artist Management is your full-service artist agent managing every aspect of your art career. It is a comprehensive career plan that will get your art career moving into high gear.
The start-up fee covers your initial consultation, account set-up, review and edit of files produced to us, portfolio set-up, technologies, studio visit, and administrative costs.
Commissions: 50% on all Internet sales, licensing agreements, or from art shows that we organize.
