As a contemporary art center, I get all kinds of questions, the most popular ones being "I want a painting for my wall, can you give me some artists' names?" and "I found a painting in my attic, what's it worth?" For the first, I try to determine their tastes, etc. and then if they seem to want to commission a piece, I work on an hourly fee plus commission basis ($10 per hour plus 10% of purchase price beyond what the artist gets). I have had a few takers. Julia Moore Indianapolis Art Center
