Art World Entitlements

Tweet This ! http://goo.gl/YQp6hK The Portland Art Gallery on Middle Street in Portland is a recently established gallery and an out growth from the website Art Collector Maine . Art Collector Maine charges artists a fee for publishing their work on the website but does not charge a commission on the sale. The Portland Art Gallery does not charge an exhibition fee but it takes the standard Art Gallery commission of 50% on the sales of the work.
