HOW TO WRITE AN EFFECTIVE ARTIST STATEMENT • FREE SPECIAL EVENT Sunday, November 16 • 1pm-4pm An effective artist statement can open doors for an artist, influencing gallery directors, curators, and art critics. This much-misunderstood tool should be a component of every artist's press packet or Web site. Yet many who are gifted in the realm of the visual have difficulty translating their creative intent into words. Internationally published art critic and author Richard Speer demystifies the artist statement in his three-hour workshop, a blend of lecture, group participation, and one-on-one constructive critique. Speer answers such questions as: What are the four essential elements every artist statement should have? What are the four most common mistakes to avoid? What length should an artist statement be? And how can you turn your visual and conceptual ideas into prose that will engage gallerists and the media? Participants will gain the tools needed to craft professional-caliber artist statements reflecting their unique strengths. Learn more... |

KSI: KILNFORMING SCENE INVESTIGATION • FREE SPECIAL EVENT

In this interactive investigation, we break into teams working with sample pieces and the firing cycles for those samples.
