GROUNDWERK 1.6: Writing Artist Statements

Sat 28 Oct 2:30-4pm

At Turf Projects, Lower Level Trinity Court, 46-47, Whitgift Centre (find us at the entrance to the Wellesley Road underpass)

In this free artists’ workshop, learn how to write artist statements which accurately represent you and your work with Owain McGilvary & Yan White of McGilvary/White.

“We often think of the roles people play in art and think about the artists’ role within the work (specifically us) that act like ‘signatures’ and how you can subvert these aspects by using funniness and playfulness. Does that make sense?” – from McGilvary/White interview at Young Artists in Conversation by James Harper.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended as spaces are limited.
