Creative Close-Up: Art Tips of the Sharing Kind…

Published by

Feb. 27 / 17  Hey again! As most of you know, I like to show people the best in art education, websites, and what not. I found this article from Artsy Shark by guest blogger Adam Eisenstat titled, How to Write a Compelling Artist Statement. It’s worth the read, this may be a great benefit…. cred: adam eisenstat & artsy shark How to Write a Compelling Artist Statement by Artsy Shark guest blogger Adam Eisenstat Why is an artist statement important? An artist statement is a marketing piece designed to make someone interested in your work. A good artist statement helps make an artist and his/her work more compelling.

First, today’s Creative Close-Up goes to Artsy Shark. What is Artsy Shark? Well, as it states on the website, Artsy Shark inspires artists to build better businesses. Founded by Carolyn Edlund, Artsy Shark provides business tips to artists who want to take their craft to a whole another level.
