Bios, Artist Statements and CVs with Sarah Crawley

  • Thursday, November 17, 2016
  • 7:00pm – 9:00pm
  • MAWA, 611 Main Street

Visual artists are constantly being asked to describe themselves and their art practice in different kinds of written documents: “provide a 50-word bio, provide an artist statement, provide a 3-page CV….” Okay, but what is the difference between a bio and an artist statement? What does one include and what does one leave out of a professional CV? This workshop will take the participants through the nuts and bolts of writing these descriptive documents and will clarify their different purposes, so that you will be ready for the next exhibition proposal call or grant application.

No need to register, just show up!

$10 for members of MAWA or ACI; $20 for non-members

All Artist Bootcamp Workshops are presented in partnership with Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba
