    I worked at a contemporary art gallery for a couple of years and helped organize a lot of exhibitions.

    -You should definitly stop in at city hall and see if there is any permits that you need. You could check into arts and crafts fairs to see what sellers do there.

    -If you are renting a space you might need liability insurance.

    -We never needed permits for alchohol since we werent selling, and we only provided wine, not hard liquor.

    -Check with the Franchise Tax Board.

    -If you want people to buy then I reccomend getting a credit card machine.

    Of course you could just do it as a seat of the pants sort of thing, hope you dont get caught and be prepared to pay some fines.
