writing art exhibit statements or “blurbs”
As I’ve mentioned before in other posts there is a lot of writing that goes on in a professional fine artist’s career. Exhibit statements (or “blurbs” as I call them) are written for each gallery show an artist has. These blurbs are often less than 100 words. When I write such statements I try to:…

from the coffee table book
I’ve been working towards an upcoming fine art exhibit at Caplan Art Designs; writing an exhibit statement, compiling an inventory list, writing promo materials.
