If the title of this workshop makes you tense up, you are in the right place. Whether creating an exhibition proposal, artist statement, grant application or speaking to an interested viewer, communicating about your art efficiently and authentically can feel completely overwhelming. This workshop will broach the impossible— or at least the daunting and at times tedious. It will open up the writing process as a creative process and make space to generate new channels of understanding. We’ll outline strategies of translating the physical experience of your art into words and also debunk some of the misconceptions surrounding art writing formalities.
