Our little local history museum has 2 or 3 shows a year featuring, either
solo or in a group, area artists.  The works are sold through the Museum
Shop.  The initials AFS and NFS, indicating if the piece is available or not
available for sale, is on the label.  The piece stays on exhibit until the
exhibit is dismantled, then is either picked up by or mailed to the buyer.
The Museum Shop keeps a list of the prices for interested visitors, and
receives a percentage of the sale.

I was out of town for a few days and I'm just catching up on the e-mail.  I
hope this is still of help to you.
