INTRODUCTION TO WRITING AN ARTIST STATEMENT | TWO PART  VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

​

If you consider yourself to be an artist, but feel you lack the necessary writing skills to draft an equally successful artist statement, this class is for you!

 

The artist statement is a key component to connecting an artist’s work with their audience. This two-part workshop is designed to equip artists with the knowledge and tools to construct a compelling and informative artist statement through a combination of Zoom presentation, short writing exercises, and statement critiques. If you consider yourself to be an artist, but feel you lack the necessary writing skills to draft an equally successful artist statement, this class is for you.

​

Session one will cover pertinent information regarding the writing of an artist statement. Session two is for those who attended session one and wish to write and receive feedback on an artist statement of their own as well as contribute towards group critique of other's statements in the class.

Cat Simmons is a visual artist based out of the Washington D.C. metro region. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design and works as both a portrait and headshot photographer as well as an instructor of photography.
