Hi everyone,
I have been working with several galleries over the past year -
everything has been going well - all my prices are the same across
all galleries and it always seems to be a 50/50 split. I have been
speaking with a new gallery (new to me - it has been around a while)
about a holiday show they are planning for Nov & Dec. They are
concerned that my prices are too high for their customer base, and
since they do a 65% (me) / 35% (them) split, they want me to lower my
retail price for the event. I expressed concern that I would never
want to undercut the galleries I am currently with, however, their
point was that since they are a non-profit, other artists accommodate
them and don’t charge full retail at this event. Has this ever
happened to anyone else? I would like to participate but would not
do so if this is considered bad business concerning the other
galleries in the same city. I still get paid the same amount, so my
bottom line would not be affected.
Thanks!
Molly
