Artist Writing

Workshops for artists & art writers

with Abigail Levine

Wednesdays, May 1, 8, 15, 22 || 7-9:30 pm EST
On Zoom

These workshops will give you tools and techniques for developing writing to use both in your creative work and to talk about it.

• We’ll develop language that feels both authentic and strategic, building comfort and confidence in writing more generally.

• We’ll write, review examples of artist statements, and get feedback from the other artist-participants.

• You’ll leave the workshop with writing about yourself as an artist and your current projects, as well as some easy practices to continue build this part of your work and career.

• We’ll work from techniques you use already in your creative work—embodied exercises and formal constraints—that get you out of your head and connect to language through your body.

• These workshops are designed for practicing artists, academics, curators and others working in art fields, and pre-professional students.

• After the workshop, I will provide individual written feedback on a draft of a piece of writing, artist or teaching statement, project description, etc.
