Just curious to know if any of you would rent a wall space in a store? Say, in a small city with about 30,000 people with an average income of $50,000. It would be all fine arts mostly paintings with some sculptings. The store would be in a downtown location. You would NOT have to be exclusive with this place like some Galleries. The store would NOT take a percentage of your sales, you would just have to pay a set amount pr. month for renting the wall space. You would be able to decorate it as you would like and change the peices when you want to. You could also put a small bio of yourself with business cards. You would not actually have to be in the store to sell. There will be a manager on to take care of sales. You can price your peices how you would like and just pick up a check at the end of the month.
I know personally I would LOVE this as an artist! I pay $200.00 pr art show and that is only for a weekend with limited hrs! I also pay that on an average pr week online!
