We allow sales from our annual students' art exhibition. All negotiations must go through the student but we do keep a list of sale prices and contact information on hand. They grant permission on their entry form for us to release this information (or not) as well as grants us permission to photograph their works for promotion.

If an artist/organization is hoping to sell any of the work on display, they are responsible for making sure that potential buyers can find them. Usually, this means leaving business cards or programs with contact information in a prominent spot. The extent of my involvement is to call the artist/organization if I notice that all of the cards/programs are gone. Good luck!

How do you go about obtaining permission to release the artist's contact information to prospective buyers? Do you have them sign a form authorizing the release of some information. We run a small juried art competition (with artwork mainly from amateur artists) in the Museum every three years. Our receptionist is inundated with requests for artist contact information, but doesn't know what to do. She's worries about putting and artist and the museum in a difficult position by releasing a home address to an undesirable party (stalker, thief, etc.).
