Hillsborough Artist Workshop - How to Write a Meaningful Artist Statement

As artists, we take care and pride in presenting our original works because our art is an expression of who we are; it is a window into our creative souls. Our artist statements deserve that same level of precision, too. Your artist statement provides important context for your art; it communicates information about your intent, process, materials, and sources of inspiration. The statement is important when presenting your work to galleries and other venues for potential exhibition. It also stands in your place when you cannot attend a gallery reception, still conveying who you are as an artist, and reaching out to potential buyers. If you want to refine your skill in writing a meaningful and individualized artist’s statement, please plan to attend this practical, interactive workshop. By the end of the session, you will have an informative and interesting statement of current work, as well as a process for creating individualized statements for exhibits of your artwork. ?
