CALL for ARTISTS: Pricing your ART!

Posted on December 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE
for success

I hoard recipes in a little Campbell’s Soup box on my kitchen counter top. I also post them to a private group on FB & pin them to a board in Pinterest too. Honestly, I rarely follow a recipe, but I learn so much from how other people cook. Art should be the same way. I hope you are out there looking at art online & OFF line. Share & try not to be afraid of copy cats. Remember, what makes your work YOURS can’t ever be duplicated.

If it weren’t for sharing, this blog wouldn’t exist. Just in case you forgot how it all got started in the first place, here is a link. I share my experiences, recommendations & cautionary tales about food and art with all of you. But, I also share it in a series of career development workshops at the Arts & Culture Alliance in Knoxville, TN. I have one coming up in February on How to Price your Artwork, and I would love to have your input. The “right” answer is… whatever works for you. But, the real question is… does is REALLY WORK for you? Are you selling art? So, this call asks that you share your recipe for success…with me.

Check out this Call for Artists from AAAD for Pricing your Art, a call for feedback. Yours truly needs your help making sure that I am passing along a recipe for success to novice and emerging artists. Don’t worry, there’s a reward…

I will not reveal your pricing strategy to any with your name attached. The information will be aggregated to form a range of working options and prevailing theories for new artists that need the assistance.

I want to encourage you to share your best practices below. Do you price on whim? Do you track your studio time? Do you have a formula (cost of materials+ 2x hourly labor–for example). Do you have an average cost per square inch that you apply generally. Do you charge the same amount when you are not paying commission? Please tell us more… (continues below the form)

You never know until you try it. Food can look fantastic and taste terrible (chicory coffee–I don’t know how people drink it). Food can smell awful (Muenster) and taste like heaven. Sometimes you just never know until you try it. This next Call is from a fantastic arts organization. I know because I tried it. I hope you’ll try it to…

DON’T I
know you?

I am suspicious of any restaurant called Mom’s or Pop’s. Let’s face it, they are setting themselves up for failure. I promise you, Mom’s Diner’s biscuits will not taste like my Mom’s biscuits. And Pop’s Italian won’t taste like your Pop’s meatballs. But, I get it. There is comfort in the familiar. This next Call has a little something familiar to my readers. Take a look…

SERVED
with LOVE

Sometimes there’s no food better than a home-cooked meal. When our son is out of town visiting grandparents, Jon and I frequently eat out or eat fast meals with little regard for formality or the dining room table. But, inevitably, the best meal is always the first one back at home at the dining room table… even if it ends up just being chicken and rice, again. This next Call is the art equivalent of a home-cooked meal because it is almost in my back yard. Support local arts…

ARTIST in RESIDENCE: Emporium Center

Posted on January 28, 2011December 17, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

A WINDOW on the WORLD

There is a great little restaurant in downtown Knoxville called Sapphire that occupies an old jewelry store. It is one of my favorite places to go, sit at a table in the display window overlooking the downtown sidewalk, and sip a Sapphire Martini. This next call is another great reason to find things to do in this little gem of a Southern town.

Check out this great Call to Artists for the Betsy Worden Memorial Artist Residency at the Emporium Center. There is no application fee, and you could end up with a solo show!
