You can also print this form and mail it in with your check and images to:

Please make checks payable to WVSA ARTs Connection. We will contact you when we receive your information in the mail.
When will my commission be ready?
Our commission process is created to better serve students with special needs and gives freedom to our Artist Apprentices to create. Therefore we do not guarantee completion date or pick up date.
When we receive your commission, a folder is created for you. Our Artist Apprentices go through the folders and pick the image that they can relate to and start painting. Our Artist Apprentices are encouraged to use their creative talent, therefore please understand that the painting you are ordering will be an interpretation of your photograph.
We cannot guarantee your painting will be completed in the order your image was received. We allow our Artist Apprentices have the freedom to choose what image they would like to paint. After we receive your commission we will email you with in one week to let you know when to expect your painting.
The first 60 commissions will have a spot in our June 12th 2008 show.
Depending on our student’s special skills, styles and needs, they are divided to 2 groups, Abstract and Realistic:
- Our Realistic students are very good at realistic rendering and coloring, and you can expect a very recognizable rendition of your photograph.
- Our Abstract students are very good at stylizing their work to their unique interpretation.
