If you want to sell your art or have it shown anywhere, you will need an artist statement or bio—it’s a key element of any artist’s marketing effort. You may also need other communications, like a grant essay or a press release. Why not entrust all your art writing to a seasoned professional?
Our writer is Adam Eisenstat, a versatile wordsmith with extensive experience in art writing. He was the director of communications at a major New York art school and for more than 15 years he has helped artists of all genres and professional levels promote themselves effectively.
Adam’s specialties include:
* Artist Statements
* Bios
* Catalog/Grant Essays
* PR (press releases, pitch letters)
* Journalism (articles, essays, reviews)
When considering something as important and potentially career-defining as an artist statement, every artist, even if he/she writes well, should engage the services of an experienced writer. Only then is it possible to produce a clear-eyed, objective description of the most important aspects of his/her work.
Whether you paint landscapes, take pictures, or create conceptual art in the furthest reaches of the avant garde, Adam can encapsulate your work in writing with style, clarity, and bite.
In the course of my extensive work helping creative people and arts institutions, I have discovered that the promotion of art can do more than just help artists gain exposure. In the best of circumstances, it can also enrich the art and the artist by adding texture and context—those fundamental elements of meaning.
