Frequently Asked Questions

01
Is ACA
right for me?
What is "artist communications"?

Artist communications is a broad selection of services offered to support artists in managing their public image and the reception of their work. We use the phrase "artist communications" to focus on the priorities of artists as opposed to "gallery communications," which is the typical focus of marketing and communications teams run by galleries.

What does "artist as client" mean?

When an artist works with Artist Communications Agency, the artist is the client. We do not sell your work, so the only person whose needs we answer to are yours.

Do you work with artists who aren't represented by a gallery?

Yes. Even if you do not have gallery representation, we can still work together. ACA has worked with artists at all different stages of their careers, and, for younger artists or artists who have not secured a commercial gallery, we can use our gallery experience to help you package your work in a way that would appeal to galleries.

Do you work with artists in all mediums?

Yes, we work with visual artists who practice in any medium.

Do you work with arts organizations as well as individual artists?

While working directly with artists is our passion, we are proud of the work that we have done for institutional clients. If you are an arts nonprofit or commercial gallery interested in working with ACA, please reach out, and we would be happy to see how we can help you help your artists.

02
How does
it work?
How do you charge for your services?

We offer services on an hourly basis at $150/hr, or on retainer starting at $1,500/month. The retainer typically makes sense once you need more than 10 hours of support per month. Learn more about our service tiers.

Do you offer packages or is everything customized?

Because every artist is different, customized services make the most sense for our clients. We start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your needs, and build from there. Book a consultation to get started.

Can you provide references or case studies?

We are happy to provide references upon request. Set up a free consultation first so we can talk through how we can best support your needs. If you are considering moving forward, we'll share enthusiastic support from current and past clients.

03
Working with
your gallery
How can I use ACA's services if I already have gallery representation?

As an artist with representation, your most important relationship is with your gallery, and working with ACA contributes to everyone's success.
