Writing the Artist Resume: Dos & Don'ts

WEBINAR -- January 17, 2017 from 12-1P.M.

Writing the Artist Resume: Dos & Don'ts

DESCRIPTION:
Being an artist is just like any other job. When you're applying for grants, residencies, and teaching positions, building a website, or approaching a gallery for representation, you'll need a strong resume that showcases your experience and accomplishments.

In this webinar led by Sharon Arnold, founder and curator of Bridge Productions, a Seattle-based multidisciplinary exhibition and project space, you'll master the key components and proper format of an artist resume. You'll also learn what will and won't draw the attention of curators, selections committees, and grantmakers. A Q&A follows the presentation.

*This webinar is open to artists of all disciplines.
Registration is free for Artist Trust members.
