I will be reading all of the information for a while, there is so much to learn. I am a professional artist who specialized in wildlife mixed media paintings and mosaics. Though I have worked on commission for years I am interested in putting work in galleries. The response to my work has been very positive, so I just need to learn the business end and am reading about it on your site. I had two questions I hope you can help with. Recently I put up six glass paintings at the request of the cafe owner. I have been going there for years so felt comfortable putting the pieces up, but now I need to draft a contract or agreement between us. I asked if they had insurance and they said no. But I am sure as a place of business they do. I would like to state in the contract that they be responsible for damage, theft etc. Do you have a site or example of a short general agreement for this purpose? I would be grateful for your experienced insight and advice on this. I know I need to get it done ASAP and feel a bit guilty about putting the work up without a contract. The second is advice on a good data base software to organize client info, prices, sales, mailing so I can merge them when I need to. I have a Mac so need Mac/Apple software. My goal is to get my business side together - it seems overwhelming now but will do it in stages. This is my little site: www.betanzosdesigns.com Any feedback on it's appearance and content will be greatly appreciated when you have time. Thank you for your time and I LOVE your work and site - wish I had found it ages ago!! Sincerely, Sue Dear Lori,
