Professional Practices: Writing an Artist Statement (16+)
Professional Practices: Writing an Artist Statement
Ages 16+
November 22 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.

scholarships & aid
FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:
- Annual family income
- Individual or special circumstances
- Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
(for students age 18 & younger)
**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.
All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
