Bow Skills Peer Crit: Pricing Your Artwork with Art & People
Wednesday 25th January 2023 , 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Peer crit opportunity for artists to present their work and get practical and personalised advice about pricing their work.
The second pricing your artwork peer crit will be held at our offices on Bow Road from 6-8pm, Wednesday 22 February – find out more here.
Art advisor, gallerist, and founder of Art & People Claudia Kennaugh is back again, leading one of two informal peer crits demystifying the topic of pricing your artwork and giving artists the opportunity to present their work and get practical, personalised pricing advice and feedback.
For many artists, pricing your artwork can be a real stumbling block – but it needn’t be! Art & People want to help you understand your worth and figure out how to price your work confidently and consistently.
In the peer crit, Claudia will kick things off by sharing some fundamental pointers to help artists critically interrogate their current pricing frameworks, encouraging them to consider what does it cost them? What stage are they at? What is the selling environment? And other important reflection points.
We will then open up the individual peer crits, where each artist will get around 12- 15 minutes to present their work and get personalised feedback from Claudia, as well as advice from wider group discussions with the other artists participating.
Attendees are encouraged to bring along 3 examples of their work to the peer crit that they can speak to, either physically or digitally.

• Opportunity for 8 artists to present their practice, join the conversation and receive personalised feedback
• Introduction to the guest speaker’s professional practice

Art & People founder, Claudia Kennaugh, has worked in the arts for over 15 years. First as a musician and performing artist, then gallery manager, art advisor and partner of the Hollywood Road Gallery, London. Claudia has nurtured the careers of many artists over the years, curated countless fairs & exhibitions and helped many collectors to buy, frame and hang art in their homes. Her keen curatorial eye is eagerly sought after and in Spring 2022 she was on the judging panel of Jackson’s Painting Prize.

Her empathetic understanding of what it takes to live off your art and inside knowledge of the industry are a rare combination. By guiding artists and collectors simultaneously, Claudia is able to create new connections and opportunities, bringing it all full circle.
‘‘Artists are often on the back foot due to a lack of knowledge and support. I want to help change that.’’ – Claudia Kennaugh
