Budget Considerations

Venue
Prints (Type of print, material, size etc)
Frames
Mounting
Lights
Transport (Flights, transport of artwork etc)
Publicity/Advertising (Website, print, digital)
Payment to featured practitioners?
Refreshments
Labour costs (constructing and de-constructing of exhibition)

Will their be prints for sale? (Created specifically for resale? Or possible sell the prints featured in the exhibition to cut costs)

We have decided to create a budget breakdown in order to assist us with pricing things correctly. We will research into all of the above and get a rough figure together so we can present a final figure with our presentation. After speaking to the gallery director at the lowery he gave us a great insight into the true costs of things and I think most of us were very surprised at how much some exhibitions can cost.

I think we are looking to keep our festival under £20,000 which is a fairly low budget so we'll see how things end up further down the line!
