Join us and the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition on Thursday August, 23rd, from 6-8 PM, to learn from a panel of experienced writers and artists about how to improve your ability to write about yourself! This Forum will aid in preparing the perfect artist bio/statement as well as personal marketing materials.

Visual artists are adept at expressing themselves with imagery, but often struggle to put intentions and stories into words. Most opportunities such as Calls for Entry and Exhibition Proposals require a Bio in addition to the Artist Statement and CV. Tracey Zeeck, Founder and President of Bumbershoot PR will share how to craft your bio through a series of writing exercises. The Artist Forum will also include a panel discussion on the ins and outs, and ups and downs, of writing and editing bios and other marketing materials.

Panelists:

• Tracey Zeeck, Founder and President of Bumbershoot PR

• Nathan Gunter, Managing Editor of Oklahoma Today

• Marissa Raglin, Visual Artist and SPACE Artist in Resident 2017-2018

Moderator:

• Krystle Brewer, Executive Director of Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition and Editor of Art Focus Oklahoma

This Artist Forum is free & open to everyone. Advance registration recommended as seating is limited.

Artist Forums always allow time for networking with your fellow artists, so remember to bring some business cards to the meeting!
