In this workshop you will have the opportunity to present artwork(s) (in any medium) previously made and engage in a critical dialogue with others regarding the development of your studio practice. This presents an opportunity to develop skills in articulating the direction and themes in your work and practice responding to questions that arise during our conversation. Conversations about the works’ connection to contemporary art history and practices will also be supported. The workshop will conclude with writing prompts and guidance so you can leave with a sense of how to write an artist statement and present your ideas to a broader audience.
