Master Class: Statement Ting
Every year, SOW starts the programming year off with a Master Class about Artist Statements. This Master Class gives Members a deep dive into the purpose of an Artist Statement, how to build one, and how it can reflect their commitment to their craft. Statement Ting will ask Members to think critically about the descriptors that define who they are as an artist and what their works stands for. SOW values the voices of young BIPOC creatives and a strong Artist Statement is the most effective (and sometimes the most difficult) introduction an artist can make.
Statement Ting will include various exercises and break-out sessions to help Members create or enhance their Artist Statement for future freelance and full-time work.
