You don’t need to tell us how you feel about writing about your own work. Just like we don’t need to tell you that if you want to realize your potential as an artist knowing how to write about your artwork is one of the most effective skills you can have.
If you’re one of the many visual artists who has avoided developing their writing skills because they feel confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated: we have good news for you!
Essential Writing for Artists is a virtual writing-intensive program that helps visual artists build a more engaging and sustainable practice.
IS THIS YOU?

- You weren’t taught how to write in art school and now you’re fearful of sounding stupid and too embarrassed to ask for the help you need now.
- You have a vague feeling of dread when you direct potential buyers or clients to your website because you’re unsure if your CV is formatted correctly or your artist bio reads well.
- You feel embarrassed when you’re applying for grants or residencies or to artist collectives. Sometimes this feeling stops you from hitting submit.
- These feelings are distracting you from your work and preventing you from moving forward as an artist.
