invoices i've sent in 2018 still unpaid in 2019 current total: $8,754.56. average payment delay: 28 days. a big part of the art economy is based on interest-free loans from artists.

Curious: can you ask for up-front payment?
(I've had so much trouble with reimbursement at academic institutions I now typically ask if they can pay upfront, before I agree to speak. They often grumble, but rarely decline, and it's made my life much easier. No more interest-free loans to billion-dollar megacorps...)

academic and corporate payment is often more flexible than arts organizations and festivals. many arts orgs & festivals are so small they have to optimize their accounting process in a way that is not open to this sort of variability.

I'm often told "it's impossible because of our process". I then say "I'm sorry, I can't make it then". And then they suddenly discover it becomes possible; I don't think this has ever failed to work (admittedly, I'm probably dealing with different orgs)
