Description
Every artist needs an artist statement! Yet it’s something we all put off writing, often because we don’t know where to start, what to put in it, or how it should sound.
Your Artist Statement gives context to your artwork. It communicates the ideas behind your work.
You need one when you are submitting to competitions, exhibitions, magazines, galleries or applying for funding, grants and residencies.
It’s really useful to have anytime you want to talk about your work and gives you the foundations of what you might want to communicate to your audience on social media or through your website.
This guide to writing your Artist Statement helps you get clear on what you want to say about your work.
The Artist Statement and Bio help a viewer get to know you and understand who you are and what you do. People buy from people, and when buying art, they often want to feel connected to it and to feel something about it. This is where how you describe your work can help you make sales, get commissions or get accepted into a gallery or residency.
So grab your guide today and finally get it ticked off your to-do list!
