Create a Body of Work Ready for Sale
8–20 weeks (dependent on medium)
Produce at least eight finished works in your medium that you would be willing to sell to a stranger. 'Finished' means: complete by your own standard, not a study or a draft. At least half must be originals (not prints, copies, or reproductions). Set aside one work that you intend to sell first.
Proof required
Submit a portfolio document or link containing at least eight finished works in your medium. Label each as 'original' or 'reproduction'. Include a one-paragraph statement of the selling price range you intend to set and why — not 'I will price competitively' but a specific range with a rationale.
What gets checked
At least eight finished works are present — not sketches or studies
At least four are originals — not prints or reproductions of the same piece
Pricing statement gives a specific range with a rationale — not 'whatever the market will bear'
