    getting the space is the hardest. you either have to shell out massive amounts up front or be prepared to give up to 50% of your sales to the space. unless you can find some cool diy outfit that'll let you put up for no $ at all.
    If it's just you doing all the selling, no middle man, i wouldn't worry about tax stuff. Cash transactions can't be proven, take checks at your own risk.
    Also think about security, we've had pieces ripped off of places where there wasn't someone there watching the joint during opening hours. If you go through a gallery, ask about insurance, if they don't have any, bolt your stuff to the wall if they let you (assuming you care enough about it).
