glowbelly when i priced my stuff for some local art shows, i took into account the material and how much time i put into the photos. i found that my snaps were often priced the lowest, but that didn't bother me. i sold a couple here and there and that was nice. it really wasn't about making a crapton of money off of a piece of paper, anyways. so basically, um, make something up that you can live with.

I would say stay in the 75-100 dollar range then. If it is a very nice spa 200-300. You aren't there to sell, if you were you would drop the prices in half, but you are there to say I am an artist and this place would not hang cheap crap on their walls. I know you don't feel like your art is worth that much and it probably isn't, but a day spa doesn't want to hand 10 dollar price tags :P

10,000 Volt Ghost How much was the canvas and materials used to make it? If you think you made the canvas look twice as good when you were done with it double the price and add $7.

Tadao I can help a little, I was part of the whole art walk scene in two very different towns, and I took great notice in price of art. I have 2 questions.

What is the goal of your price? (too sell or compliment your work)
What type of establishment is it hanging in? (bagel shop or art gallery)

I know the first question is I don't care, but you have to make a choice.

How do you put a price on stuff?

I'm so bad at the business end of art

I have an offer from someone to display some of my food-art pics in a gallery, just small prints, and he invited me to "put a price tag" on them.

I don't know what I would put. I did the art and there it was and I took a pic of it and there it was. How much to charge later at some gallery didn't even enter my mind.

Does anyone do this sort of thing, who could give me some pointers?
