How to Write an Artist StatementYour artist statement should be about 1-2 paragraphs in length. Your artist statement should look and sound professional with complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation. Discuss where you are going with your art and what you want viewers to take away from viewing your work.
"Most importantly, your statement should compel readers to look at your art. If it doesn’t do that, it hasn’t done its job. Your statement has failed if people read the words you’ve written, and then they go on to the next artist without being intrigued enough to take another look at your work." |
