I would like to have local artists display their work in my pub..

How would I arrange this? Would it be expected for me to pay them? Or would they pay me for dispaying the work?

Blimey - i wish there more of you!
There will be loads of people wanting to display the work -
put up a sign in the pub and perhaps contact a local photography club or college (do you live in a rural area?).
When word gets out i'm sure lots will come.
Be very selective though - it has to suit the pub and appeal to the customers. In terms of payment - offer the works for sale and agree a commision with the artist 10-15%.
It has to be mutually beneficial.

I am secretary of our local art club and I echo gary baldie's sentiments. Our members have occasionally displayed work in a restaurant free of charge or commission, but more usually a commission is charged on sales. One large local cafe does it for 20% commission, all of which goes to charity. They change the display once a month with a different artist or group of artists. There is a long waiting list.
