“How to Write an Artist Statement” &
“What Makes a Good Artist Talk”

At some point in our careers, we are all asked to write an artist’s statement or to give an artist talk.

An artist statement is an important part of having a professional studio practice. They are required in many situations. And they are the foundation of a good artist talk. An artist talk can be the best way to help your audience connect with your work. 

 

But did anyone ever explain how to do these things? How to make them effective?

 

Join your fellow South Coast Artists in an exclusive, members-only opportunity to learn directly from Professor Rebecca Hutchinson, who has decades of experience guiding artists through the process. 

Wherever you are on your journey as an artist, her straightforward, cheerful, and proven approach will help you improve your skills in this important area of your professional practice. Whether starting from scratch or refreshing your current statements, this free program will give you the knowledge and confidence do things right.
