Whether you're introducing yourself to a curator, submitting to a residency, or presenting at a networking event, a strong artist pitch can open doors. This workshop helps artists craft a clear, confident, and authentic pitch that communicates who they are, what they do, and why it matters—in just a few impactful sentences. Participants will be guided through the essential elements of an artist pitch and learn how to express their creative identity with clarity and intention. The session includes writing prompts, real examples, and peer feedback to help refine each pitch into something powerful and memorable.
 

What the Workshop Covers:
- What makes an effective artist pitch
- Identifying your core message and artistic focus
- Structuring your pitch: Who you are, what you do, why it matters
- Adapting your pitch for different settings: applications, introductions, events


     Takeaways:
     - A polished artist pitch you can use in person, online, or in writing
     – Tools to speak and write about your work clearly and confidently
     – Feedback from peers and the facilitator
     – Greater self-awareness of your creative identity and goals

     

Who Should Attend:
Artists, designers, creatives, and art students looking to improve how they present themselves professionally whether in person or on paper.
