Guest Artists (speakers, artists, performers) are defined as a company or individual who provides a presentation, performance, or speech in front of an audience for payment. Guest artists are generally contracted for a limited time (i.e. 2 weeks or less of consecutive work).

To initiate guest artist paperwork, submit a Guest Artist Documentation request.

If your guest will be paid through an agent or management company, please use the adjusted form **here.**

• If covering the cost of guest artist airfare, reimbursement is the preferred method, over direct payment.
• Guest artists being reimbursed for expenses such as airfare or accommodations must complete an Expense Reimbursement form in addition to their contract. This will be initiated by business office staff. Itemized receipt(s) and proof of payment is required.
• Guest artist contracts that are not fully executed (signed) by the first date of engagement will require additional documentation. Please plan accordingly.
