Do you struggle with pricing your artwork to reflect its true value? How do you navigate the different values your art holds?
Join visual artist Lizzi Aronhalt and dancer/choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson to explore how value is defined and why it is an integral part of your artistic process. In this interactive workshop, Aronhalt and Moore-Dunson will lead you through an exercise to understand the personal, communal, and monetary value behind your art, and how to effectively apply your findings into pricing strategies that support your practice.
