Wondering whether you’re asking too much or too little for your art? Not sure how to incorporate certain expenses into the price tag? This workshop focuses on how to price your artwork, featuring advice from Inuit fashion designer Nicole Camphaug of ENB Artisan and private gallerist Douma Alwarid of Unorthodox Yukon. In conversation with Heather Campbell, Strategic Initiatives Director at the IAF, they dive into the nitty gritty details of how artists value their time, expenses and expertise across a variety of mediums and contexts. Together, they work through specific examples of how to price a piece based on Nicole and Douma’s vast experience, and share concrete formulas to help you arrive at a fair pricing practice.
