Writing a Photo-based Artist Statement (Online)

Instructor: Liz Sales

Date: September 16th, 2021

Time: 7 – 9pm EST 

Location: Virtual

Cost: Free (donations welcome)

Your artist statement is a link between you as a photographer and the rest of the world. This statement should accompany your visual work, especially when you submitting to funders, galleries, or publishers. What you write may also be read aloud at an event, included in a press release, or used as wall text. That is why you have to know how to contextualize your work in words. 

This two-hour virtual introduction to artist statements is for photographers who may be uncomfortable writing about their work. Through a lecture with examples and an in-class exercise, participants will learn painless writing strategies for sharing their ideas.
