That's the way we thought of the honorarium at the Art Center. It was a
recognized part of the project budget.  If times got tough, we would
plan fewer exhibition changes (all our exhibitions were temporary and
with no collection, generally we borrowed artworks from the artists who
made them) to reduce ALL costs.

... If we just start thinking 
of an artist honorarium (small or large) as a non-negotiable exhibition 
expense, like wall labels, shipping, and a mailing, it would go a long
way 
to making it a standard practice.  It works for us.  If it means one
less 
exhibition per year (and the rest a week or so longer), I think it's
worth 
it.
