KIDSHANNON -- Solutions for Art Buyers

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. KIDSHANNON, 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 KIDSHANNON team will work directly under the art buyer or creative staff, filling in the gaps of a project from its inception to completion. Services include:
    • industry-wide talent search
    • artist selection
    • price & contract negotiation
    • design & layout
    • progress updates
    • internal review

    This service allows the art buyer, art director, or client to outsource the art functions on a project-by-project basis or on a retainer basis without incurring additional costs.

  • Limited Art Buying Assistance
    • KIDSHANNON can assist in any part of the buying process listed above, on an as-needed basis. For example, KIDSHANNON can assist in choosing the artist, or a small selection of artists and samples to submit for final evaluation. Any services can be customized to meet the client's needs.

  • Search Tool
    • Our industry wide search tool is available to anyone who would like to locate any number of resources in our industry. To access this information please visit the Industry search.

  • Emergency Assistance
    • If you are in need of assistance for projects that have gone off-track, KIDSHANNON has countless resources at hand to bring your project to success and enable you to realize your vision.
We invite you to call or email KIDSHANNON if you would like to discuss our services, schedule an in-house evaluation, or ask a question. We look forward to having an opportunity to demonstrate what we can do for you.
