I'm looking for the word for someone with a patron. Not the patron himself but the person who has one. It's something of a teacher/student relationship, rather than an artist/patron relationship.

Patron-client has been used before. Client might sounds a little stilted however in the way you want to use it.
I might think about just using "student". Or maybe "intern".

genre? era? purpose of the relationship? All of these might help us come up with better options for you.

According to OED the following words mean a person receiving patronage: client, parson, minstrel, protégé, patronee, and minion.
