The purpose of an artist bio is to provide a concise overview of your artistic journey, highlighting your background, inspirations, and achievements. It should include your artistic focus, key accomplishments, education or training, and any notable exhibitions or projects. There are many resources online to help you get started, you can attend one of our public information sessions for guidance or head to Arts Northern Rivers for free professional development resources and courses.
An Exhibition Statement is to provide insight into the theme, concept, or inspiration behind your proposed exhibition. It helps viewers understand the meaning or context of the show. It should include the ideas, processes, or messages driving the work.
Your work doesn’t need to be framed, but if it’s to be hung, it must have appropriate hanging fixings.
