Best Practices when writing an Artist Statement, with Christine Palamidessi

Saturday, March 4, 2023 from 1:00-2:30pm on ZOOM

This is a Cambridge Art Association Member Event, and is free for all current members

Prep for CAA's Portfolio Review with Christine Palamidessi, as she gives a presentation on how to write your artist statement.

I Make Art...why do I need to write about it? You write about it in order to frame the conversation about your work: to pull the viewer into your life and intentions; to use your voice: to control how people are supposed to think about what you create.

This event will be recorded and emailed to participants.
