Images of your work are what people get interested in what you are doing. Because of this, documenting your work properly is one of the most important considerations you can make as an artist. This workshop will focus on the best ways to document and present your work for a proposal or grant application. From paintings and photography, to film, video and performance, we will discuss the things you should consider when presenting your work in an application. This workshop will begin with a discussion  followed by an opportunity to play with documentation stations. This means that participants can each bring in up to 5 works to be documented. More specific instructions will be given once you register.

Maximum 20 participants.

How do you find ways to write about your work in a compelling and concise manner? What are the questions and ideas you place alongside your work so that you can convey your practice in meaningful and relevant ways? This workshop will focus on ways to develop quations, statements and ideas about your work that help open it up to others who are not familiar with your work. You will be asked to bring a current statement about your work as a starting point, and through a collaborative, guided process, you will leave with some concrete ways to strengthen it.

Maximum 20 participants.

This final workshop will bring together the documentation and writing explored in the previous sessions, with an eye to putting together a complete proposal. We will focus on putting together a proposal for an exhibition, but the ideas explored can also be applied to grant and other applications. You will be asked to bring in draft statement and documentation, so that we can work with real examples from the participants.

Maximum 20 participants.
