Thank you so much for your reply, Alyson. I will check out the resources you mentioned. Thanks for your kind words about my work. Yes, I did write artist statements in undergrad (but never a proposal) however, it’s been a long time so I feel like I’m starting from scratch.

Also, your work is wonderful. Did you really get through undergraduate school without having to write an artist statement? (I have a real beef with art schools who send artists out into the wild without this knowledge.)

In reply to Marta Stares.

Hi, Marta. Thanks so much for listening. In response to your questions, here are a couple of resources for you in case they would be helpful because your questions are quite involved. They are difficult to answer in a short comment.

I have a series of lessons about galleries and exhibitions in the Art Biz Accelerator. In particular, it’s important to know the difference between seeking gallery representation and showing in a gallery space.

I hope you read all of the info at YourArtistStatement.com (or listened to the podcast) and better understand the difference. We go into depth on artist statements in my course, Magnetic You.

Hi Alyson,
Just discovered your podcast – so glad I did! This particular post is very helpful. I have a question maybe you can help with. How do you write a proposal for an art show in a gallery? What is the difference between an artist statement and a proposal? Perhaps you’ve already written about this on your site?
Thanks so much,
Marta

Thanks, Alyson! As someone who has more experience with non art related startups, it’s interesting to think about how my artrepreneur clients should approach this. Great.

Vidya: It’s a constant process, as I said in the video. The “there” you’re going to is always a moving target. Just do your best for the moment and update as needed.

Excellent podcast, Alyson! Loved it! Your guidelines are simple, straightforward, and informational. I modified my artist statement just around the beginning of this year. After listening to this episode, I am going to revisit my statement, and probably after a few revisions, I know I will get there. Thank You!

You can do it, Linda! A lot of my clients use SquareSpace or FASO for their artist sites. They’re very happy with them. Thanks for listening.
