Art Writing Workshop: Call to Artists

Art writing is not like other forms of exposition. Writing about collage is different from writing about other mediums. In this workshop, participants will work together to develop practical techniques for writing about their artwork. We will examine the nature of artist statements, biographies, proposals, art reviews, and other forms of writing about art. Participants will practice writing object descriptions, explore how to draw stories out of artwork; and consider how using alternative forms of text creation like poetry, personal essay, and found text can build context for their artwork. The workshop will unfold through virtual presentations and group discussions and through readings and sharing texts in process.
