Program: writing compelling artist statements

Susan Schenk will present a workshop on writing compelling artist statements

An artist’s statement tells others about you and your work. Writing one is a powerful exercise for articulating your passion and art. But, it also a challenge to capture in words what is often so hard to express and intangible. No matter your medium or level of proficiency, a good statement is a useful tool.

In this workshop, you will be guided through a series of questions to gather information to create a sophisticated artist’s statement, and to deepen your thinking about your own art making. If you are happy with your current artist’s statement, then write a statement for the fabulous artist you aspire to be, so that you can set that intention into the universe. Or, answer the questions as preparation for when you are interviewed for a national artist’s publication.
