An evening for artists

We are hosting an evening for artists in our area, tomorrow night. The idea behind it is to help artists prepare submissions to galleries, etc. Most of us are flying by the seat of our pants on this one. After talking to Zhe it appears that it is a common malady amongst artist as she gets long wordy bios and CVs, vague artist statements, poor photos, etc. Some artists have mastered the business end of being an artist which includes the above, but many leave it because they are uncomfortable with writing about themselves and their artwork, or they would rather just make art.

As secretary for Gallery 96, I will be taking notes for posterity and will give you an outline on another blog entry. This should be an informative evening.
