Professional Art Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These workshops are designed to aid the professionalisation of individual artists. Learning to present yourself effectively, with a compelling artist statement and a professional portfolio, is crucial for success. These tools help you apply for funding and residencies confidently, staying true to your artistic vision while finding your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme covers four areas: writing and optimising artist statements, including a live review session; creating and curating a professional portfolio, from selecting work to layout and image quality; finding and applying for residencies and grants, including persuasive project proposals; and building and maintaining a network of curators, galleries and fellow artists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
