I would like to see others' pricing as well. Right now, I'm working on an exhibit (from research through writing and fabrication on to mounting) for $3200. It's 128 square feet (8x16 foot space, two exhibit cases with artifacts and the rest is wall displays -- photos and text panels, no video or anything technologically advanced). Meg Justus independent curator Please send respnses to the list. I would very much like to see how others handle this issue, and I'm sure other list members would as well.

To: [log in to unmask] Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 10:34 AM Dear all, I'm new to this listserv. If anyone out there has either been or hired a guest curator, I would really appreciate your advice/ feedback on estimating a fee to curate a small exhibit (820 sq ft) on history & public space with photographs, text, and short video -- no objects. I'm based in a major metropolitan area on the east coast (not NYC). The local American Institute of Architecture chapter is very interested in my exhibit idea for their gallery space on a prominent, heavily trafficked downtown street. We've agreed I would submit a proposal for my fee to cover about 3 months of work (less than full time) to develop and design the exhibit -- panels and video. I would work with the gallery manager to actually layout 24 panels ( 30" x 42" ) on a software package he uses, and he would be responsible for fabricating. We would mount the exhibit together. The final exhibit will be up for 2-3 months. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, guidance you can offer on a range for my fee, excluding reproduction rights for photos.
