Join us and arts writer and curator Alicia Puig for a one-hour workshop on the art and craft of artist statements and artist biographies. Alicia will address the differences between them and the most appropriate details to include in each.

She will also highlight best practices for writing about art in an engaging yet clear way. Most importantly, she'll flag some common mistakes and discuss how to avoid them in your own work.

Walk away with simple, yet effective strategies to write confidently and professionally about your art.
