No worries, It is good to be "that guy" -- I think your reaction is how most people would react. Thanks, though -- that is exactly why I posted it here... so I could see what people really had to say.
One piece of context to add is that the structure I described is exactly how some art shows work today. Artists don't participate in shows to make a profit. They participate because they like the concept and want to be part of it.
But I guess this does confirm that the thought processes that take place in the actual art world aren't going to translate over into how people think about things online.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoI do understand that most art shows work this way. I also know that most art shows I've been to don't display 20,000 postcards, nor are most patrons willing to spend $33 to buy a postcard. However: using your "art world" connections might not be a bad idea. Why not speak to some (financially) successful artists/gallery owners that you know and ask them how they'd raise money in your situation?
