A clear, concise artist statement helps communicate an artist’s intention and the type of work they create to a broad audience. Join Shama Rahman, integrated marketing manager at the Wall Street Journal, to learn the basics of writing and editing artist statements.

Rahman covers the components of creating effective personal narratives, tangible tips for keeping statements updated, modifying statements for different platforms, and more. Breakout groups engage in peer-to-peer feedback. Participants should bring a copy of their most recent artist statement for review and four images of their own work for context.
