‘Understand your value’: How The Cedar Union’s focus on fair pay empowers Dallas artists
, one of eight arts institutions in Texas that have been certified through WAGE by agreeing to their fair pay standards.The only way that artists can make a living as artists is to make money, and that’s really important to us,” said Rachel Stanfield, managing director of The Cedars Union.The certification means minimum payments for specific kinds of artwork at The Cedars Union are clearly spelled out.
“[WAGE certification] ensures we never cut corners on what we pay artists for our programs – if we can’t make it work in the budget, we can’t do it, and really that’s how it should be,” Stanfield said.Flores said joining The Cedars Union’s first cohort back in 2018 accelerated his career by helping him learn the financial side of his business, from copyright issues to marketing.
Take, for example, a $2,000 mural job. At first, Flores said that sounds like a good payment. But factoring in materials and equipment the artist might need for the job could bring the take-home pay to $1,000 or less, which doesn’t account for the two weeks of labor or time mapping out the concept.
