Hi Clayarters,
Perhaps it's the cynic in me, but I don't understand why people would
participate in this Artist Pension Trust.
This group is collecting works from well known (and highly priced) artists
and taking substantial fees to help these people save for retirement?
If my work sold for an average of $20,000-$25,000 (from one of their FAQs),
I don't think I would need to pay people help me save for retirement I would
assume I'm selling more than a few of these pieces each year.
I could set aside some of my income in my own retirement plan (hiring
someone to supervise it if I couldn't or didn't want to do it myself) or I
could just save some of my work to sell at retirement time (if I weren't
still creating my art), or I could just save money for retirement.
What am I missing here?
Bonnie
