artist statement

"Your artist statement should discuss both the conceptual (your ideas, concerns, and how they manifest themselves in your work) and technical or formal aspects of your artwork. Your statement may include information on any influences you feel inform your work. Keep it simple, concise, and straightforward."

http://www.artistsfoundation.org/art_pages/resources/resources_arts_statement.htm

 

artist resume

http://www.collegeart.org/guidelines/resume.html

Your artist résumé should list your:

  • education

  • awards, scholarships, fellowships, artist residencies

  • exhibitions

  • bibliography (reviews and publications)

  • collections

curriculum vitae

"The c.v. is a record of all professional activities within academic careers, and is intended for use in academic situations only."

http://www.collegeart.org/guidelines/visartcv.html

 

artist bio

"An artist bio, while containing information similar to the artist résumé, is presented in a different format than the résumé. An artist bio is most often written in the third person and in paragraph form, and it highlights the information present on your résumé."
