How much should you charge as an auction entry fee for a silent art?
It is a fundraiser for a nonprofit org fledging, want to be that. All art is from local (but probably unknown) artists of all kinds. I thought $ 10 (it is in a rich city), but the real organizer think $ 2. It is at night, and there will be food.
