Pricing Artwork

All of the artwork submitted to the Youth Art Show and Sale will be for sale during the show. Participants are given the opportunity to price their artwork appropriately. We strongly encourage students to price items at a reasonable price and recommend that teachers assist their students in this area. The Heard Museum Guild reserves the right to contact the artist to discuss the price if we think it is not viable (too high or too low). Please include your email addresses and phone numbers.

  • Each piece is to be priced by the student and made available for sale until the Show closes.
  • Prices may be reduced the last day of the sale.
  • Students receive 80% of the paid price. The other 20% of the sale remains with The Heard Museum Guild to provide school grants for classroom supplies and to support other activities benefitting American Indian student artists and art teachers, including training and internships.

Here are some articles about pricing for students and beginning artists:
