FREE WORKSHOP: The Anatomy of an Artist Statement
Corks & Pints Wine Bar | Tap House, 22 Fourth St NE, Faribault
Tuesday, October 29, 6-8 pm (doors open at 5:30 pm)
Have you ever struggled with drafting an artist statement? The Guild and Paradise Center for the Arts are here to help! This collaborative offering is OPEN TO ARTISTS IN ALL DISCIPLINES, is sponsored by Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC), and features panelists with experience writing successful artist statements will share an overview of tips when writing an artist statement.
Panelists:
Paula Granquist is a writer working on a novel, short stories, and essays. She hosts ArtZany! on 95.1 FM The One
Joy Riggs is an award-winning writer, editor, lecturer, and author of Crackerjack Bands & Hometown Boosters.
Danny Saathoff is a professional visual artist, jewelry designer and fabricator as well as an instructor in Art at Carleton College.
Following the group presentation portion, attendees who’ve pre-registered, can participate in a 10-minute breakout review session for one-on-one help with their artist statement. Participants in the breakout sessions are invited to email in a sample artist statement the week before the workshop; RSVPs are required for participation in the review sessions with a panelist.
Refreshments and snacks will be available during the workshop for attendees in both parts; we encourage networking while artists are waiting for their session with a panelist. Space is limited; please reserve your spot by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org or by calling 507-645-8877 x 4.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
