Personally I think it should be showing student's, and amateur's work, as well as those who've peraphs moved back to the area after being away at art school, but who as yet don't have a commercial client base.

I think people will go and visit the gallery, and hopefully buy, if the work is any good, and is fairly priced, but I really don't know many people who are in the position to pay out for exhibition space, with no guarantee of selling even one work.

Dawn, I'm really not getting on your case, but I'd hate for this to be the reason your gallery isn't a success. I can't think of any other galleries that don't work on commission of the work they actually sell, on behalf of the artists they are showing.
