Flowerfield Arts Centre
£20 / £10 (VAI Members and residents of Causeway Coast & Glens)
As an artist, you are required to write about your work for press releases, marketing purposes and for proposals or applications. Conveying concise information in a well-written artist’s statement, biography and CV will assist people in gaining an understanding of your practice.
This session will provide a workshopped approach, involving writing exercises and peer feedback. Joanne will offer strategic advice on preparing artists’ statements and CVs. She will assist you to develop appropriate and clear language to describe your work in a way that makes it engaging, personal and accessible to most readers.
