When artist collectives face commercial gallery pressure

Our artists' collective has been pooling resources for group shows and shared studio rent, but two of us just got picked up by commercial galleries and now we're all navigating what that means for our anti-commercial values. We have a big group exhibition coming up and nobody knows how to price their work or whether having gallery representation changes what we're supposed to be doing together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Individual commercial success challenges the shared ideological framework that originally bound your creative community together.
