The Artist’s Voice: A Writing Clinic for Creatives
Description:
The Artist’s Voice is a monthly two-hour writing clinic where artists receive hands-on support in creating and editing documents essential for their careers, ensuring they leave with improved drafts or even finished documents. The clinic focuses on helping artists craft compelling artist statements, bios, grant applications, responses to open calls, and residency proposals. Artists at all career stages who need support with professional writing related to art opportunities are encouraged to attend. Artists can bring physical or digital copies to the clinic for on-the-spot revisions. Space is limited; sign up for an appointment on-line.
