Why Commision Artwork: Tips from Erik Beerbower

People commission art to get a unique, personalized piece tailored to their exact preferences and space, allowing them to collaborate with an artist and become part of the creative process. It is a way to create a meaningful, one-of-a-kind work of art that can't be found elsewhere.

Understanding the Importance of Commissioning Art

commissioning artwork offers benefits that buying pre-made art often can't match:

1. The Perfect Fit: You get exactly the right size, color palette, and medium to perfectly match your home or office decor, avoiding the compromises of buying something "off the shelf."

2. True Uniqueness: The piece is a one-of-a-kind original, making it far more exclusive and personal than a print or mass-produced item.

3. Deep Personal Meaning: You can choose a specific subject—like a pet, a childhood home, or a feeling—that is deeply significant to you, turning the art into a meaningful conversation piece and a permanent memory.  

4. The Collaborative Experience: You get to be an active patron, working directly with the artist, seeing your vision come to life, and directly supporting their creative career.  

Essentially, you commission art to bring a specific, personal vision into reality that no existing piece could perfectly capture.
