Artist Conversation

February 22, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Topic for February 22: Writing an Effective Artist Statement

You asked for opportunities to grow as artists, and we listened!
Arts Guild Executive Director, Tim Peterson will lead a conversation focused on useful guidelines for writing an effective artist statement. In addition to his past arts administrative and curatorial positions, Peterson taught this subject for three years as part of a Fine Arts Professional Practice course at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

The conversation will cover:

  • Conveying your overall artistic practice
  • Describing your most current or in-process project(s)
  • Avoiding jargon, empty phrases and common pitfalls
  • Keeping it brief

During this conversation attendees are encouraged to ask questions and (optional) bring a sample artist statement to edit. 

Interested in attending? Please reserve your seat by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org or calling (507) 645-8877.

 

Join us for our monthly Artist Conversations!  This is a time (every 4th Thursday from 6-8 pm) for emerging and professional artists to gather in a small group setting to discuss topics relevant to visual artists.  These gatherings are free and open to the public, but as space is limited, please reserve your seat by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org or calling (507) 645-8877.

 

Each conversation will focus on one topic such as:

  • How to price your work
  • How to regularly show your work
  • How to create a cohesive body of work
  • Social Media for artists
  • Bookkeeping for artists

Have a topic to suggest? Please email your idea to heather@northfieldartsguild.org
