Writing towards Artist Applications: Virtual Workshop

Workshops are intended to prioritize students and emerging artists/educators. Space is limited!Language has agency. As artists, we’re often asked to condense the language around our work to fit into character limits for applications. In our writing and editing towards these apps, how do we make certain to choose our words economically while not having to sacrifice our poetics? The first half of this 90-minute workshop will focus on defining and crafting strong approaches to different writing prompts (i.e. artist statements, cover letters, image notes, etc...). For the second half, participants will be encouraged to bring a short piece of writing of their choosing to collaboratively workshop with the group into a statement that is 300 words or less.
