June 17 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
This is a CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS event in partnership with Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative.
What should I charge? This question plagues creative practitioners and arts no matter what industry. Working out what to charge for creative products and services can be a colossal challenge. Where to even start? Join us for this interactive workshop designed specifically for Aboriginal creative practitioners.
‘Pricing for Indigenous Creatives’ is a FREE practical workshop that covers the basics of figuring out the price point for creative work, including calculating costs and understanding the marketplace what to charge for creative products and services. ‘Pricing for Indigenous Creatives’ is vital for any creative struggling to understand the value of their own work, and how to share that value with others.
