Saturday, June 7th- 9 AM-12 PM and 1 PM-3 PM

One hour lunch from 12-1 PM.

The artist’s path frequently involve applications. These can include festivals, markets, exhibits, grants, residencies and the like. In this two day intensive workshop over two consecutive Saturdays, Laura will work with artists on artist biographies and CVs (curriculum vitae). An artist Biography is brief overview of an artist's background, work, and influences with the purpose of providing context for your art and to connect with audiences, galleries, and potential clients. An artist CV (curriculum vitae) is a comprehensive document that outlines your professional experience, achievements, and credentials in the arts.

Artists who register will be expected to come prepared and to stay for the whole of both sessions. The first session will include lecture and discussion, writing exercises, hands on experience and work together in groups. There will be some homework during the week and the second session will involve editing, group review and critique and time to polish the documents based on feedback. The goal of the workshop will be to leave with a working biography and curriculum vitae.
