shows, on the map
group shows with a venue, dates, an opening and a press release, pinned at your address so people nearby find them.

the gallery is the seller. buyers pay you, and you pay your artists the way you already do. painttwits takes 2% when something sells; stripe's card fee is separate. if you have a percentage arrangement with an artist, you can note it with the price list for your records.
