artists’ fee
Different countries work differently for sure but artist can not work for free. Musician, writers, dancers, actors all expect pay, but for some reason many artist even pay to show their work. That’s crazy. Please do not enter a competition that asks you to pay an entry fee. These days submiting work online should make it easy to cut down costs for the museums and galleries.
I know I am being repetitive, but I think this is quite important.
