A commission is a formal request for a specific piece of work, typically in the arts, where an artist is paid to create a work according to the client's specifications. Patronage, on the other hand, involves a broader relationship where a patron supports an artist or art form financially, often without specific demands for particular works. While commissions are transactional and focused on specific outcomes, patronage fosters ongoing support and can influence the artist's overall career and artistic direction.
Commission in art refers to the practice where a patron specifically hires an artist to create a piece of work, often with particular requirements or themes in mind. Patronage, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the support and funding provided by individuals or institutions to artists, which may include commissioning works but also involves providing resources, financial backing, or opportunities for artists to create and showcase their work. Essentially, while commission is a specific transaction, patronage represents a more general relationship of support and encouragement within the arts.

The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act (1883) mandated that all government jobs except the highest level (Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, etc.) be awarded on merit and through demonstrated skill instead of by patronage. Patronage is the principle of awarding government jobs to party followers following the election of that party to the Presidency. To enforce this, it also created the United States Civil Service Commission. As per the later Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the functions of the Civil Service Commission were split between the newly created Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) , and the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).
