In anticipation of the Award deadline on September 30, 2020, this interactive virtual workshop facilitated by curator and educator Ashley McKenzie-Barnes will help newcomer artists further develop their application, including their Artist Statement and more!  

A combination of facilitated discussions, exercises, resource sharing, and workshopping each other’s Artist Statements in facilitated breakout rooms will help participants stand out and strengthen their Award applications. 

This workshop includes:

  • 2 templates for Writing an Artist Statement, Artist Bios and Preparing your Portfolio for you to complete ahead of the workshop and keep for future use;
  • A live online event where you can share your updated Artist Statements, Bios, and questions with a small group of supportive artists like yourself, and give and receive feedback;
  • Q & A session with Ashley about her advice for artists who need a boost standing out
  • Q & A session with Neighbourhood Arts Network about the award
