Artist Statements: How to Write One!
(This is a very useful, yet long tutorial video – 52 minutes )
"Writing an artist statement can be tough; being asked to verbally articulate ideas that we are used to expressing with visual media is challenging. Topics covered include critical components of an artist statement, how to write succinctly, as well as options for adapting a specific voice. Different versions of your artist statement are discussed: a short version for your artist website, a 1 paragraph version for artist grants, and more detailed, in-depth proposals that can be used for artist grant applications."
Discussion led by RISD Adjunct Professor Clara Lieu.
