Is 50% gallery commission really wild?

In this episode I respond to ' 50% gallery commission is wild!' , I explain retail margins and how retailers take much more than 50% and put into context the gallery commission. I also talk about different  ways that galleries work with artists. This episode covers why it is so important for an artist to have their own audience and ways of selling directly without dependency on a gallery, but to sell via galleries as a complement to your overall business. And choice. There's a lot of different ways of working and selling your art and it all comes down to choice. What works for someone else does not have to be the same for you.Art Business Foundations starts in September.Details here https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/artbizfoundationsGallery Ready program waitlist here https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/gallery-ready  Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thegitajoshi/Follow me on Substack https://substack.com/@thegitajoshiFollow me on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thecuratorssalonVisit the websitehttps://www.thecuratorssalon.com/Resources for Artists https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/for-artists
