In this virtual workshop series, artists are invited to turn their journal into a studio companion and idea incubator. Through interactive Zoom sessions we'll explore simple, repeatable practices artists can use to generate content, clarify ideas, and deepen connection to their work.
DECEMBER'S TOPIC: YOUR ”WHY” STATEMENT
Your “Why” Statement is the heartbeat of your artistic practice. A strong Why Statement helps artists clarify their purpose, communicate their vision to collectors, galleries, and institutions, and stay motivated through creative challenges. In this interactive journaling workshop, you’ll:
- Explore your core values and creative motivations
-Use guided journaling prompts to uncover your personal “Why”
-Shape words that inspire your art, fuel your career, and connect you with audiences
