As I recall, in 1979 when I was a graduate student in Canada, there was, a nominal fee given to the featured artist in both public and private galleries. But it was not much $. I don't remember how much. Already having been showing in the states for almost a decade, I had never heard of such a thing and was amazed, and have never personally seen it again since returning to the US in '83. I wonder if any Canadians know about this-if it has continued?
Now, I have had work purchased that became part of a packaged traveling exhibit that traveled to out of state institutions and I am sure that there were rental fees paid between institutions for the rental of these packaged exhibits, but I saw nothing from the rental fees.
