NEW SUBSCRIBER! This has been the BEST video (along with your other two) regarding Artist Statements that I have ever seen on the internet (and I have watched a MILLION! lol). I'm a new artist ( a writer and poet) and I will absolutely use your advice to create my statement. I'm going to use your tips as I continue to apply for writing residencies/fellowships and contests. Thank you so much!! *PS - I LOVE your work. I haven't decided whether to publish my work traditionally or self-publish but either way, I'm going to see about requesting you to complete the artwork for my book covers (if you even do book covers). It's just beautiful to me!!*

I have never heard of you, but now that I have, I appreciate and admire you lots. I really like the sculpture you did! Also, the video is very helpful.

Seeing this in my feed reminded me to refer back your very helpful book (Be the Artist), which I got when it came out in 2020 - so helpful as I try applying for artist residencies! Thanks again for all the sharing you do...

Great video Detour! I think strong artist statements are so difficult for artists to write!

I think the talking part really helps out. After i talked to 1000 people about it i started to have some really good go-to phases and concepts that i would build off of.

Was your artist statement displayed with your art at the show you summited it for?
@iamdetour2 жыл бұрын
Usually they place it in the marketing materials for group shows but it sometimes is display in the show if its a solo or if there ar multiple pieces.

Hi Detour. Are there any texts or examples that you would recommend that middle schoolers read in order to learn how to write their artists statements for the first time?
@iamdetour3 жыл бұрын
Hello. I always recommend going to an artists website or a major gallery/museum to see some of the statements that artists will use for an exhibition or show. Those are the statements that made it past all the edits so those are the ones that are the best examples.
