My biggest piece of advice would be to stay local where you can do as suggeted here and visit often. My worst experiences have been with galleries that were not in New Hampshire.<br />Years ago I stupidly sent a whole box of matted photos to a gallery in Texas, I never heard a word from them and never saw a penny or my work again. Live and learn. But that was an expensive lesson.New Hampshire Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415416072874956174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487412780559154472.post-88321993681606362212011-05-18T16:04:52.914-07:002011-05-18T16:04:52.914-07:00Glad it has been mostly positive for you to consig...Glad it has been mostly positive for you to consign.

There are good ones and bad ones. My suggestion to anyone who wants to submit their product is to do your research.
