Question
Hi!

I am American and I have a friend who is Moroccan who is an amazingly talented artist. I would like to help him sell some of his paintings here in the USA, but I want to do it legally. Do you know where I should start or who I should ask? I could use any advice you might have.

Thanks,

Chelsea

Answer
Hello.......

Your best bet would be to check out Art Calendar Magazine [either read hard copy or check out their website www.artcalendar.com ].

There is a great deal of information for artists.....but not sure if they address bringing art into the U.S. for sale.

Also, check with a local gallery or two and see if they might have an interest.  

Best wishes,
