How to Present Yourself and Your Artistic Practice
May 20 | 10:00 - 12:00
Members: Nadia Trudel
Clusters: Milieux
Join Nadia Trudel for a 2-hour workshop on finding the words for your creative practice.
Creating art is innate, but how do you talk about it with committees, curators, or even your grandmother? Knowing how to effectively describe your artistic practice is an essential skillset for a professional artist.
By drawing on narrative tropes and archetypes, this workshop will guide participants through the process of writing two key texts for promoting and sharing their work: the artist statement and the artist bio. Through an overview of examples, group discussion, and hands-on writing exercises and peer workshopping, participants will draft accurate and dynamic artist bios and statements that capture their voices.
Please bring a variety of physical or digital examples of your work.
