ARTIST BIO / STATEMENT
Your artist statement is an opportunity to explain the background and process of the work you are including on your art gallery submissions. There is no definitive right or wrong in writing your artist’s statement, but it should be concise… The main purpose of an artist’s statement is to augment your artistic practice. This could be by offering background information, an explanation of your process, or any other information that will enhance the critical understanding of your work. – from The Practical Art World
ARTIST CV
The Curriculum Vitae or CV is essentially an artist’s resume outlining previous exhibitions, publications, press, and more. Don’t have much professional experience? Check out How to write an artist’s CV when you don’t have much (or any!) professional experience. – from The Practical Art World
EXHIBITION PROPOSAL
The difference between an artist statement and a written proposal is that your artist statement focuses on your artwork and practice in general, and a written proposal is a specific plan for an exhibition. A written proposal should include:
- a brief overview of the concept behind the show
- number of works and description of works to be included
- a rough timeline
- specifics of installation
- short biography of the artist(s) and if applicable, curator(s) involved

He has accumulated a wealth of museum-related knowledge and experience, and we are fortunate he is willing to stay on and share it with us.
