I entered the Border Art Prize at the Tweed Art Gallery on a whim – and GOT Accepted!!!
Yeah!!! The bad news is that I priced my piece as though it was pottery- not ART!!!
I put a price on it of $55.00, which is a nice price for my currently selling pottery….
However, In an art exhibit…..it looked ridiculous!!! I was the lowest priced object in the whole show! Embarrassing!!!
I’ve learned my lesson and in the future will price accordingly.
But….we should put bigger prices on our work-it is WORTH it- it’s all a mind set, eh?
Good news is…it sold!
Another exhibit there was the Rolling Stone Magazine covers through history – really awesome!
Here are some of MY favs! Shows my age, eh?!!!
Have a Happy Christmas Holiday and see you in the New Year!
Hi Marian
Pricing is difficult when you are still emerging as an artist. I usually put more on exhibition pieces as there is usually a fairly high commission plus you put your very best pieces into an exhibition – I sell cheaper at market stalls but was amazed at a recent Design Market to see the prices that someone was asking for a small pendant! Three times what I have been asking… so I still have not resolved the dilemma. Have a lovely Christmas.
Thanks for your insight! It is a dilemma !!!
Happy New Year!
