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
