Artist Boot Camp: Selling Your Work in Gift Shops with Candace Lipischak
Thursday, October 17 | 7 to 9 pm | Online
For some of us, one of the highlights of going to a museum or gallery can be strolling through the gift shop and seeing all the local artists’ wares. But how do you get your own artwork or products into that shop? And once you have an “in”, how do you price your work for these types of sales and what do the gift shop managers expect from you, the artist?
Candace Lipischak will share tips and experience regarding how to sell your work in gallery and museum gift shops, including finding a shop that’s “a fit,” pricing, and tracking sales. They will discuss the Who, What, When, Where and How, as well as price points, demographics, commissions and more.
Within a couple of weeks of broadcast, the workshop will be available with captioning at mawa.ca/videos/professional-advice.
