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).

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.

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.
