The Artist Contract serves as a foundational document for professional relationships in New Zealand's creative sector. It is designed for use when an artist is commissioned to create, deliver, or license artistic works, whether for private collectors, public institutions, or commercial clients. The contract addresses crucial elements such as copyright ownership, moral rights, payment structures, and delivery terms, while incorporating specific provisions relevant to New Zealand's legal and cultural landscape. This document is particularly important given the unique considerations of New Zealand's bicultural heritage and the need to protect both artist and client interests in professional creative endeavors. The Artist Contract can be customized to accommodate various types of artistic works, from traditional visual arts to digital creations, while maintaining compliance with New Zealand legislation.
