The Work of Art: Valuing & Pricing Your Artwork with Michael Manes

Pricing your work shouldn’t feel like guesswork. In this session, gallery owner, collector, seasoned salesman, and long-time mentor Michael Manes breaks down the art and strategy behind valuing your creative labor. Drawing from decades of experience on both sides of the gallery wall, Michael will guide artists through the factors that shape price — from materials and time to market positioning, audience, and long-term career goals.

Whether you’re an emerging artist unsure where to start or a mid-career creative looking to refine your structure, this workshop offers clear, grounded insight into building a pricing approach that’s sustainable, confident, and aligned with your practice. Expect candid conversation, real-world examples, and practical tools you can apply immediately.

Part of Cohab’s Work of Art professional development series, this session empowers artists to understand their worth and communicate it with clarity.
