My gallery isn't paying me on time, help! What should I do?

My gallery isn't paying me on time. They are well known with an established reputation, so I thought their representation of me would work out great. Indeed they sold some of my work more than a few months ago. However, when I've called them about paying for the work, they say there are some bookkeeping errors or "the check is in the mail" but it is only partial payment. This has been going on for months! What should I do?

Without income,
A desperate and embarrassed artist.… Continue

My work begins with post-consumer material diverted from a destiny as trash. Revitalized from the mundane, these recycled tin containers are deconstructed, cut, folded and reassembled into the extraordinary. This metal may not be as precious as gold or silver, but in many ways reveals more about the values of our society. Does value exist within the craftsmanship, by who made it, or by what materials are used? Or is value created through mass-marketing and mass-consumption?

Your panel with the gallery owners I will never forget. You asked question that needed to be answered regardless of how people felt but based on the realm of truth and progress.
I asked this year of SNAG if they would talk more about finances and the progress of art. Last year I was shocked to hear artist talk about selling out and on the other hand speak about not having the funds to attend the conference. I as even more stunned to hear these references in regards to Paley. I have never been one to understand the nobility of poverty. Anyway I could go on forever so I’ll stop here. One thing I would like to say is this, and I was going to talk to Dana about this, maybe they could video the entire conference and sell the video to those of us who could not make it. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of this, I’m sure you see both sides,

Be Blessed
