*************
Struggling to find the right words to describe your artistic practice?
Whether you're applying for grants, exhibitions, residencies, festivals, or updating your website, your artist bio, statement, and CV are often the first introduction others have to your work. Yet many artists struggle to know where to begin, what information to include, and how to describe their practice in a way that feels authentic, clear, and professional.
Join us for this practical and interactive workshop and learn how to turn these documents into powerful tools that support your artistic and professional growth.
Through examples, guided discussions, practical exercises, and feedback, you'll learn how to:
✅ Clarify the ideas, themes, and experiences that shape your practice
✅ Understand the distinct role of the artist bio, statement, and CV
✅ Write with greater clarity, confidence, and specificity
✅ Avoid clichés and overly generic language
✅ Create stronger professional materials for grants, exhibitions, residencies, and other opportunities
You'll leave with practical tools and a framework you can continue using as your artistic practice evolves.
Who should attend?
This workshop is ideal for:
• Emerging artists from all disciplines
• Artists preparing applications for grants, exhibitions, or residencies
• Creatives developing professional materials for the first time
• Artists looking to update documents that no longer reflect their current practice
No prior experience is required.
Bonus for In-Person Participants
Arrive at 6:00 PM for a fun and engaging pre-workshop activity designed to help participants connect, reflect on their artistic practice, and prepare for the session.
🎤 Facilitated by Caroline Gauthier, YES Artist Business Coach
