Tamworth: Pricing for Creatives (or What’s it Worth?)

In partnership with ARTS NORTH WEST.

What should I charge? This question plagues creative practitioners and arts no matter what industry. There are answers, but they are fascinating and complicated.

Working out what to charge for creative products and services can be a colossal challenge. Where to even start? ‘Pricing For Creatives’ (What’s It Worth?) 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.
