To be an artist is to constantly apply for things. Many creative opportunities–from residencies to exhibitions–start with an open call. How can you ensure you’re putting your best foot forward when submitting these applications?
Drawing upon the perspective of arts decision-makers who run residencies, jury exhibitions, and review project proposals, this panel discussion will focus on the written portion of applications, and cover:
- Where to find open calls for art exhibitions, residencies, and more
- How to determine if an opportunity is right for you
- What reviewers like to see in the application statement/narrative
- The difference between a residency application and exhibition proposal
- Common misconceptions about the writing, and how to avoid them
Time for Q&A will be provided.
This is Part 1 of a 2 part series. To also register for Part 2: Work Samples, which will focus on the portfolio component of applications, click here!
