"What should I charge for my work?"

All artists struggle with this question!


Join Michael, Mallory, Erin and Regina as they discuss best practices when pricing your art. This is a one hour presentation followed by a 30 minute Q&A session.


The panelists will address questions from CAA artist members:

-How do you determine appropriate pricing for your medium?

-What factors do you consider, such as print runs, edition sizes, or materials?

-What role should dealers play in setting prices?

-How do you balance volume sales with fair pricing?

-Do you maintain consistent pricing between your studio and gallery settings, especially without exclusive representation?

-How do you handle gallery commission rates? What strategies work best?

-Can you share pricing anecdotes or lessons learned? What do you wish you had done differently?

-What to do in a fluctuating market from an artist perspective.

Panelists

Michael Talbot is a Jamaican-born, Boston-based freelance artist and visual storyteller who has worked on murals, exhibitions, and showcases since 2012. His narrative-driven work is characterized by motion, negative space, and a limited palette reminiscent of graphic novels and sequential art. Michael believes all art is interconnected, each form informing and enhancing another. Drawing from his Jamaican cultural background, he mixes digital and traditional media to “season” each project with authentic perspective.
