Whether making art is your full-time job or a side hustle or just a gleam in your eye, it’s the time 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 for your work and get yourself paid.

In this workshop you will learn:

• Four important income benchmarks that will 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 step-by-step process to get you launched as a creative freelancer
• Recommendations for dealing with special situations that may arise
• Q&A where you can get some advice on your unique situation

Regardless of where you are on the path towards full-time art making, this workshop can help you create a plan to achieve your career goals.
