I agree with you about displaying work in high end places that are known for this sort of thing all I was saying was I thought it was wrong to dismiss the coffee shops, all the stuff on the walls round here has a price on it so no being offered silly money & the prices do vary from ridiculously cheap as your friend obviously experienced to what I would call expensive for what it is but then I know nothing about art lol
Worth popping in to a couple of places just to see what others are doing in my opinion as well as targeting high end shops & galleries especially for someone who is unknown as an artist just now.
