Pricing Your Work

Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 6:30-7:30 (?) | Zoom: https://uky.zoom.us/j/82926865265 

Pricing creative work can feel uncomfortable, confusing, or emotionally charged. This workshop breaks pricing down into practical, understandable components, including materials, labor, overhead, and market context. Artists will learn how to assess what their work truly costs to produce and sell, and how to set prices that are financially sustainable and professionally sound. The session also addresses how to talk about prices with buyers, galleries, and clients clearly and confidently, without apologizing or over-explaining.
