Where would the apostrophe in the word 'artists' go in the following sentance - before or after the "s";
"The possibility of having a permanent display of local artists work for sale"
I've put it before, as the work belongs to the artist, but my collegue thinks it may be after the S.
Thanks in anticipation

I think the latter is more likely, since the local council or whoever is more likely to open such a facility for all local artists. However, it does depend entirely on whether you are dealing with a singular or a plural.
Compare..."A dog's teeth are dangerous" (one dog) and "Dogs' teeth are dangerous" (several dogs).
