Session 1: Pricing Your Work
Pricing for profit? For life style? How to determine what to charge for your work based on what it costs you to make your work and what you need to live.
Session 2: Finding a Buyer for Your Art Work
Marketing your art can be as creative as making art. Libby Platus shows the artist, craftsperson and graphic artist how to market your work with a little imagination, effort and a limited budget. Conventional markets such as galleries, fine art consultants, fairs/gift shows/festivals, shops and mail order are discussed as well as new and unusual directions. Emphasis is on an "Entrepreneurial" approach to take charge of their career, survival and destiny.
