Pricing Your Art Quilts: Opportunities, Paradoxes and More! with Carole Lyles Shaw, 11:05 am - 12:05 pm (1 hour)
Whether it is a bronze sculpture, an installation using sand and water or an art quilt, every artist faces the dilemma of pricing. As art quilters, we tend to follow the conventions used by painters, printmakers and collagists—people who work in ‘flat’ formats. But, even when we do, is this appropriate? And, how much do we really think that our work is ‘worth’, especially in an artistic marketplace that devalues anything made of textile…most of the time? At the end of the day, the artist has to make decisions and, possibly, be prepared to defend them to potential buyers. Some of the issues that we will discuss include the impact of the uniqueness of our artistic voice, our reputation, market factors and the possible trap of thinking in terms of materials and labor costs. And, we will talk about when, if and how we should ever ‘justify’ or explain our pricing to anyone at all! At the end of our time together, we should all leave with increased clarity about our personal decisions on pricing, and hopefully new ideas from our dialogues with others in the room.
