Program Description
In this interactive workshop, artists will learn practical strategies for writing clear statements that describe and elaborate on their artwork: what they make, how they make it, and why it matters, in language that is clarifying and authentic.
Through a review of what an artist statement is and should best convey, short examples, guided prompts, and supportive discussion, participants will generate fresh writing about their practice and shape it into a strong draft artist statement they can use for websites, applications, and exhibition materials.
This workshop is recommended for artists participating our Spring 2026 Portfolio Reviews or for those who need to update their artist statements for exhibitions, grant applications, or other professional requirements.
