We frequently read the good advice: If you are going to consign items,
be sure you have a contract with the store.
My question is: Does anyone have a good model contract for consignment?
Hopefully, it would be "fair" to both consignor and consignee.

LeRoy,
I had the opportunity to work with a women who had published a small book called
ARTIST"S MARKETING WORKBOOK. Her name is Rebecca Vogt. There is a chapter in
her book called "Contract and Agreements". The first example she provides is a
contract for consignment sales.
There is also a simple consingment agreement form on page 84 of the Business of
Art by Diane Cochrane and other not so simple forms.
If you can't lay your hands on a copy of either, I could snail mail a xerox of
the contract(s) it to you. Just let me know.

LeRoy....a "legal" contract is only as good as the people behind the
signatures at the bottom. My advice is, if you're thinking of putting your
work in a store you're not sure of, don't. Better to talk to other potters
with a history of dealing with that outlet. If they're happy, chances are
you will be too. The only other reason for a "contract" is to clarify
conditions between parties, and this can take the form of a simple letter,
outlining any agreement you may have with the retailer.

Check out the consignment laws in the state where the gallery exists. AZ has
some dandy consignment laws but by the time you have to enforce them your
relationship with the gallery is kput. I find many galleries and craft shops
aren't aware of the laws or look for ways to avoid responsibility. I've
published a booklet that has AZ. consignment laws, Indian art regulations and
sample contracts (consignment, commission, design, and model release) I wish
I had a copy of every state's consignment & art related laws.
