In order to approach any of the different types of exhibition spaces or, even a project proposal, you will need to assemble an “Artist’s Packet.”
“What in the world is an ‘Artist’s Packet’ anyway?!”
It’s the way we make first contact with arts professionals: calls-to-artists, galleries, grants, fellowships, proposals and, more. A Packet typically includes: images of the artist’s work, list of past exhibitions, cover letter, reprints of reviews or articles, written artist’s statement, one or two announcements of previous exhibitions and, return mailing envelope.
“Do I really need all that,” you ask?
Yes, you do and, it needs to be prepared like a professional!
“You’ll help me create my Artist’s Packet?”
Yes, we’ll help you create and review all your materials. We’ll show you how to make professional looking images of your work. We’ll help you with the entire process!
(Part 1 also included our previous Meetup on writing your artist’s statement.)
