Hustle: Writing about your Art Practice

PROGRAM SUMMARY
Most artists want their artwork to speak for itself but fans, patrons, grant and residency panels, advanced degree programs, gallery directors, museums, and the press often ask for words to go along with the work. Joel Parsons will guide us through the pitfalls and pleasures of writing about our work. Come prepared to do a writing exercise or two and to help others explore their writing process.
