NEW DATE: Tuesday, June 23, 6-7pm

Please join us for a workshop where we dig into some of the less glamorous tasks of being an artist! Your CV and bio are crucial to your success and longevity. The formulas for both are very simple, but most people do not have it right, most often due to lack of knowledge or time. Let’s take the time to make yours perfect, so the next time you need it for grant/residency applications, gallery/collector requests, your website, online platforms or an open call it’s ready to send!

* Maximum 100 attendees for a one-hour digital workshop on ZOOM (presentation and Q&A).

* Attendees will receive a ZOOM link via email on June 1.
