Professional Practices: Writing an Artist Statement (16+)

Professional Practices: Writing an Artist Statement

Ages 16+
May 31 from 1-4pm

This 3 hour lecture based workshop is designed as a hands on, interactive experience to create/write an artist statement; which will speak for the artist when they are not available, a tool for gallerists to help promote you as an artist. Developing this writing skill will help the artist make a successful transition from creating art to presenting and promoting it, and for established artists who want to get their work into galleries and exhibitions.

Handouts will be sent to participants ahead of time, to fill out and bring to the class.
