In-Person Event: AE Artists Development Workshop – How to Price your Work

July 10 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Storefront Gallery at 4893A Dundas Street West, Etobicoke

This monthly series of workshops from Arts Etobicoke works to support Etobicoke artists to advance in their careers and grow their art practice.

Join Heather Young, CPB, for this upcoming in-person workshop for artists on pricing your work.

Whether this is your full-time gig or a side hustle or just a gleam in your eye, it’s the right moment to have a good hard think about how you’re going to pay yourself. That’s right — once you’re self-employed you’re responsible for your own income! This workshop will cover the concepts you need to know in order to set a price on your work and get yourself paid. We will cover:

  • four important income benchmarks for all Canadians, to help you set income goals for yourself

  • four key concepts, including the crucial distinction between price and value

  • three practical methodologies that you might use

  • a proposed step-by-step process to get you launched

  • recommendations for dealing with special situations

  • Q&A time where you can get some advice for your own concerns

What to expect?

Think of this as an hour and a half of “me time” — but with a financial twist. This in-person seminar is all about helping you to find sustainability and success as a self-employed person in the arts and crafts sector.

What to prepare?

No specific preparation is required — but if your maker business is already rolling, you will get the greatest benefit by thinking ahead of time about exactly what you’re currently doing about pricing your work. Come with questions!
