Workshop: Writing Artist Statements - with Asimina Chremos

American Composers Forum, Philadelphia Chapter is pleased to present Writing Artist Statements, an online workshop led by Asimina Chremos.  The ability to describe your work, your process, and your motivations, in your own words, is an important tool for any person working to create music professionally.  An artist statement may be the key to a successful grant proposal or an application to an artist residency, but it can also help you hone your artistic practice.  This workshop will help introduce strategies for writing clear and compelling statements, and provide feedback to individuals on their draft writing. 

This workshop is open to anyone regardless of artistic discipline or geographic location. This workshop will take place over two sessions (on Zoom), with writing homework in between sessions. Space is limited to 12 participants.

Two online sessions, $30 for the series

Part 1 - Monday, November 29, 7:00-8:30 pm ET
Part 2 - Monday, December 6, 7:00-8:30 pm ET
