The Women's Studio Workshop is pleased to offer Successful Writing for Artists: Workshop and Individual Consultations, March 10, 2011, a program sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, established to offer artists information and insight regarding the best practices for a successful professional career.

Authentic communication about ones' artwork is a powerful tool for creative growth as well as for business success. The effectiveness of a strong artist statement stems from the authority with which it is written, but often artists are completely at a loss when it comes to writing about their work. Through intensive writing exercises and one-on-one consultations, this evening will demystify the process, and give participants the ingredients needed to compose an artist statement that is a moving testament to their creativity.

Please bring your existing artist's statement, if you have one.

Please indicate if you are attending the workshop and/or signing up for the consultation and your preferred time slot and artist-consultant.
