We know an art buyer plays a vital role in many aspects of the creative process from
establishing the project aesthetic, to controlling development costs, and managing the
innumerable elements involved. That position has become more complex as a result of staff
cutbacks, shrinking budgets, and reduced time constraints. Shannon Associates, as a result
of years of experience in the industry, has developed the following services to make your
job easier:
Complete Art Buying Assistance
The Shannon Associates team will work directly under the art buyer or creative staff,
filling in the gaps of a project from start to finish. This can include selecting the
artist or illustrator, negotiating the price and contract, monitoring the artist's progress,
and facilitating the internal review process. This service allows the art buyer/art
director/client to outsource the art functions on a project-by-project basis or on a
retainer basis without additional costs.
Limited Art Buying Assistance
Shannon Associates can assist in any part of the buying process listed above, on an
as-needed basis. For example, Shannon Associates can choose the artist or illustrator,
or a small selection and samples to submit for final evaluation. Any services can be
customized to meet the clientÕs needs.
