Writing Workshop: Artist Bio and statement

The Kansas City Artists Coalition was created to change the lives of artists living in Kansas City, Missouri.On March 5, 1975 a large group of artists gathered in the studio of local artists Philomene Bennett and Lou Marak to address “How the Artist Can Benefit from Centralization.” Overwhelmingly the group felt a self-initiated organization was the only alternative to isolation, elitism, apathy, and ignorance. The ultimate result of that meeting was the incorporation of the Kansas City Artist Coalition in August 1976.The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC or Artists Coalition) is an artist-centered, artist-run alternative space that presents a variety of exhibitions of contemporary artists' work in its galleries.

Who Are You And What Are You Trying To Say?

<p>Could someone identify you and your work just by reading your artist bio or statement? Does your bio or statement capture what you’re all about? If not, this workshop is for you! During the first part of our workshop, we will utilize a speed dating format to generate robust material that captures your essence. We will then chisel the material generated from quirky interview questions and hilarious freewriting prompts into vivid, precise, and compelling artist bios and statements. Bring a sketchbook and/or notebook.</p>
