Book An Artist is an online platform for people to commission creative projects by artists. It started as a simple questions when Gaurav Kawar, Founder and Book An Artist CEO was on a holiday in Viñales, Cuba. Gaurav and some friends had spent the better half of a morning trekking to visit a supposedly spectacular cliffside mural. Upon their arrival the reaction was less than enthusiastic. It was cool, but a long way to come for “cool.” A friend happened to joke that it would’ve been great if they’d had a way to find a better artist to do the job. Lightbulb! The beginnings of Book An Artist began to form.

“Jayna did an incredible job painting my son’s nursery. It turned out better then I could have possibly imagined. Her timeline and pricing was right on and she was able to accommodate some extra details at the end. Her attention to detail specifically for the tiger faces was fantastic. My husband was away the week this was painted, and his first reaction when he saw the finished product was that it looked even better in person and the pictures I’d sent him did not do it justice. Jayna was friendly and easy to work with, I would highly recommend her for any project of this nature.” – Kate (Artwork by Jayna in Vancouver, Canada).

Book An Artist is now a global company based in Australia. Artists from across the world use the platform to connect with customers searching for the perfect portrait or their mural masterpiece. Book An Artist has collaborated with internationally recognised brands such as Netflix, Chatime and Sony Music. But, majority of Book An Artists customer base is everyday people, with homes, offices and small businesses in need of wonderful art. Trust Book An Artist to bring your creative dreams to life!

So, how can you trust Book An Artist?

“Superb quality, excellent showmanship, professional demeanour – I would highly recommend Conrico Steez. Connor helped us out with a project to design and spray a mural onto a garage door at a Flower Show. He was very easy to work with, made an effort to create a piece which suited our requirements, gave a triad of drafts to choose from, gave advice on how to improve our set-up, and was easy to communicate with leading up to the show. On the show, he was punctual, positive, and great at engaging with the crowd. If you are considering an artist for a PR piece, or for an event, Connor is great with interacting, and remains calm and professional whilst people watch him work.” – Rory (Artwork by Conrico from Bristol, United Kingdom).

The process of using Book An Artist is simple. We are the middle man between you and the artist and we have both your best interests at heart. The fun part is connecting with an artist. Input your location and be presented with a plethora of artists near you. Alternatively, depending on the project, you can widen your search. For example, canvases, illustrations and digital designs can be sent through the post.

Each artist has their own unique way of communicating with you. Their process of how they work and how they deliver your art to you is personal and should be discussed prior to paying their deposit. What we can guarantee is the protection of your fees through Book An Artist Pay. Different from a bank transfer, Book An Artist Pay gives peace of mind through our secure escrow payment system that ensures financial commitment and protection for both customer and artist.

What is Book An Artist Pay?

Your payments are kept safe and secure in escrow, eliminating the need to share personal banking details. The payment can be seen and acknowledged by both parties. As the customer, you have the ability to release payments at different completed stages of a project – from deposit to final payment. When the artist completes your project, you can release the remaining balance from escrow to the artist. The artist receives payments within 2-5 business days.

“Gillie and Debbie are fantastically talented. We feel privileged to have their art in our home for us to enjoy every day. They met our brief perfectly, and were professional and courteous at all times. We couldn’t be happier with the result.” – Amy (Artwork by Gillie & Debbie from Sydney, Australia).

Artists using Book An Artist do not work for Book An Artist, but use our services. Should your artwork not be completed or delivered, contact Book An Artist and we will step in. Since the payment remains in the secure escrow account it makes it easier to retrieve and refund your payment.

How do I receive my artwork?

Artists will require a deposit before commencing work on your project. Some will request payment prior to delivery and others will request final payment upon finishing the artwork. If your artwork is being sent by post, request tracking information in order to follow your package. We recommend paying any final fees into Book An Artist Pay and releasing them once you’ve received your artwork or it has been completed.

If there are any issues with your artwork, try communicating with your artist first and foremost. If issues still persist, log into your account and get in contact with a Book An Artist team member.
