I'm taking part in a group art show, all media, of about 20 people, being held by a local (non-art) business. I have never shown publicly. At all. I draw on an iPad and will need to print out pieces for sale. Aside from the running internal debate I'm having on the size I should print these pieces, the other big question is: What do I charge for them? These will be 12"x18" or 2'x3'. I'll most likely have them printed at a local commercial printing place on good-quality stock, but I'll be speaking with a fine-art printer as well. I will show six-to-10 different pieces and have multiple copies of each for sale. But, ultimately, these are not "originals." I've seen other Asks regarding oil paintings and the like, but what to charge for a print, even a nice one? Materials + ??
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. The crowd will likely have disposable income (the business is high-end-ish), but, even so, do I charge $50 per print? $100? Less? More? I, literally, have no clue as to how to valuate my art and am already nervous enough about showing my art in public. Thank you.
