Creating Good Vibes With Your Artist Bio

Class Dates: Sunday, November 10th 2024

Time: 1:00 - 3:00pm

Venue: Virtual
Max. Participants: 25

The bio is an important marketing tool and should be carefully crafted to bring the world closer to the artist. It tells the artist’s story, building a connection between the person reading it and the artist. Unfortunately, a clumsily written bio can work against an artist. A journalist, art school, gallerist, or buyer can get bad vibes from a bad bio, so this one-day workshop will show you how to get your vibes right with a bio that works for you.

We will talk about:

• Choosing/Shooting a bio picture
• What to include in an artist bio
• What to avoid when writing a bio
• When to update your bio
  And other bio-related topics. Expect to be able to write your bio after finishing this workshop.
