10 SEATS AVAILABLE!

This workshop is designed for artists, period.

No matter your back story or stage in your career, writing about one’s practice can feel hefty.

In this workshop, we will uncover the difference between a bio and an artist statement and focus on economy of language - choosing the specific words that concisely describe our experiences and praxis.

We’ll get specific and clear with our language, while keeping reading time low.

Does this sound tough? Well, it is, but we’re making it easier by tackling the challenge side by side.

Let’s check in. Are you ready for this challenge?

This workshop is for you if:

• you’re ready to make a change

• you’re excited to think critically about your practice

• you’re prepared to take deep breaths and communicate when you are feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood so that misunderstandings can be addressed and resolved

• you’re ready to receive constructive feedback from a professional and your peers.

This workshop is not for you if:

• you’re feeling protective over what you have written

• you’re feeling like the writing you have is too personal to be shared

• you’re overwhelmed by constructive feedback

• you’re not ready to let someone know you’re feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood so that misunderstandings can be addressed and resolved
