Episode Description
Most artists are working hard, creating consistently, and still feeling confused about why their income feels unpredictable. It is not because they are not talented or not working enough. It is usually because they have never calculated what they actually need to produce and sell in order to support their life.

In this episode of the Art Price Lab Podcast, we walk through how to calculate your required art production mix. This means understanding how many pieces you realistically need to create and sell at your current price points in order to reach your income goals.

Instead of guessing, hoping, or relying on random sales, you will learn how to think about your art practice as a system that connects your pricing, your capacity, and your financial needs. This episode helps you zoom out and look at your work like a business model, without losing the creative heart of what you do.

Why working “as much as possible” is not a strategy
How to connect your income goals to real production numbers
The difference between random sales and a sustainable production mix
Why some artists burn out even when they are selling
How to start designing an art practice that fits your actual life
