I live in a super small mountain town. Last week I ventured into our new, very small......maybe 20x20 foot local art gallery.
Of course I got to chatting with the owner/operator and he said they were still looking for more artists to display. So out of curiosity asked what the terms were to display there. The fees are as follows:
6 month contract
$20 a month for one Apple box displayed
$50 a month for space on the shutter's/room divider displays.
He didn't quote wall space because it was already full.
Then he charges 30% commission on top of that.
He said best sales are priced under $25 and are matted prints.
So basically, after fees and product cost-I have to sell 4 avarage prints a month just to break even on an Apple crate display that I am hoping someone gets on the floor to thumb through.... Or sell I think 6 a month to rent a "premium" zone....
The shop is closed on Sunday/monday, and closes at noon on Saturday. 11-6 t-f.
Are these normal or even profitable terms?.....
