Know Your Worth! - Pricing 101 Workshop

Led by Show + Sale alumni and interdisciplinary artist Kenzie Roth on October 11 at 1pm in room 395 (third upper floor). The first hour will be lecture based, learning how to price your works. Then please bring pictures or your physical pieces from 2pm to 5pm for an open Q+A and get some feedback on pricing your very own pieces!

Behold the scariest question that every artist asks themselves: "What should I sell my art for?". In this live workshop we're inviting alumni and Show + Sale veteran Kenzie Roth to show us some great tips on how to price all kinds of artwork from paintings to prints to ceramics. This workshop is designed to complement the Show + Sale Pricing 101 online series and is great for any AUArts student who wants to start selling their work for the first time.

Navigating the Art World with Tara Vahab

April 3rd, 1 - 2:30pm in the Nest

In person - will be recorded.

Tara Vahab is an artist, educator, entrepreneur and motivator. Tara received her BFA from University of Calgary in 2015 although she has been practicing visual arts professionally since the age of nine. In her role as an engagement coordinator, Tara is a source of empowerment for Alberta professional visual artists. Tara’s vision is to spread awareness and create peace and unity. Through her art, she explores subjects of humanity, empathy and joy using newspapers and bright colours.

In this presentation students will learn what professional artists do, how to develop and maintain your business, and how to price work - as well as dealing with artist fees, copyright, best practices and industry standards, and how CARFAC can help students.

May G N will guide us through CV fundamentals, a live CV writing demo, and work alongside participants to build their own CV, solve problems, and answer questions.

Bring a notebook, laptop, or whatever other tools you may need to take notes and follow along.

May G N is a trans-Albertan artist and educator who lives and works on Treaty 7 territory. Somehow, she’s been allowed to help run TRUCK Contemporary Art. She believes that art is for making things possible when they otherwise wouldn’t be. One day, they hope to create a space where people can make art whenever they want without fear.

• In this 4.5-hour intensive workshop you will get hands-on experience learning the second and third level of BrandJitsu to shape your story and learn how to share it in a way that is meaningful to you and your customers. Building on the first workshop ‘Brand Core’, this session continues the process and connects the DNA of what you do and why you do it directly to who you do it for and why they care. The result is a clear and compelling story that can’t be ignored.

• Attendees should review the Brandjitsu Part 1: Brand Core curriculum and attend the Brandjitsu Primer on February 11th before attending for maximum benefit. All course materials, including the previous video of the ‘Brand Core’ session, will be made available to all who register.

• Open to all current AUArts students for FREE, thanks to AUArts SA Show+Sale and community partner RBC.
