Early days I almost signed with a gallery that wanted 60% commission and a 6-month exclusivity clause for my city. I was so desperate to be "in a gallery" I nearly said yes. My mom talked me out of it over the phone lol, she was like "honey that's not a partnership, that's a landlord." What's the worst gallery deal you were ever offered or saw someone else take? I feel like nobody talks enough about the predatory end of this, everyone's so focused on getting in that we forget some doors aren't worth walking through. What was your red-flag contract moment?
