Well I thought I'd update people,on the dealings with a gallery I was
dealing with in our town (new gallery in area where they city as ana
rea to live and work in art). At the time I orginally wrote I was
talking about the person constantly changing appointments, etc.

A couple of months ago a friend and I pulled stuff out. Friend had heard
some things negative. Even getting things out was a problem of
cancellations - air conditioning isn't working can't keep appointment,
etc.

The concensus when I originally wrote was "Get out." We stayed in a
little longer but did get stuff out. The only reason I'm writing now is
I heard today she has moved to Miami - so I guess the business folded.

So I guess even if you live in the same town (a couple of miles away)
you still have to watch out. Thankfully I came out alright.

Try to buy a copy of American Style magazine or American Craft. They list
galleries throughout the magazine(s).

I've never had this experience. But.... if I did have this experience,
that would be the last the gallery ever saw of me. If the owner is so
slipshod about canceling an appointment, what would the owner be like
when it came time to send out the checks?

Consider it a huge loss for the gallery and much frustration about
payment that you've been spared.

I agree. Don't take it personally. If the gallery isn't professional
enough to keep an appointment, you don't want to do business with them -
especially commission.
