No, the bar doesn't get a cut. AFAIK, that's not the norm around here (not that I have much experience with these things). I've always figured the bar or cafe or restaurant or whatever is getting free stuff to put up on the walls. And, the guy last night had a pretty good night at the bar. Like I said, at the height of the evening there were likely 40 people there, and most stayed for at least several drinks. Not counting friends and acquaintances of mine there for the opening, there might have been 6 to 10 strangers there who had nothing to do with our "group".
cheers, frank

Way to go Frank! Was it mounted & matted or only a print? Does the bar get a
cut?
If you were printing digitally at home you could have done an archival 8X10
print for about a buck or two - US. Not counting several hundred in initial
outlay for the printer.
