Writing a Better Art CV

With Ann Mansolino
hosted by Chris W. Carson

Register on Eventbrite

In this session, we’ll look at the art CV: what to include, what to leave out, and how the CVs that you submit to exhibitions, grants, and other opportunities in the arts may differ in form and content from the CV that you use to apply for jobs.

Ann Mansolino is a visual artist whose work explores the relationship between the internal self and external ideas of place through photography, writing, and handmade books. Ann has taught photography at colleges and universities in Canada, the United States, and Singapore, and has exhibited her photographic and book arts work in solo and group exhibitions internationally.

Working with and for Visual Artists:
Hybrid and Online Models

6:30pm – 8:00pm CST/MDT

With Steven Teeuwsen (Lowland Art Projects, Edmonton)
and Paul Constable (Artist in Canada: Director, Saskatoon)

RSVP on Eventbrite

The art world as we know it continues to change, adapt and pivot. New business models are emerging and these will be explored in the CARFAC Saskatchewan  / CARFAC Alberta webinar Working for and with Visual Artists: hybrid and online models featuring Paul Constable (visual artist and director of Artists in Canada, Saskatoon) and Steven Teeuwsen (curator and director of Lowlands Project Space, Edmonton).

As an independent artist and director of Artists in Canada, Paul Constable will touch on the shared relationship between gallery representation and your online presence, and how they work together to form your business model. Paul will discuss the importance of treating your art as a business and how this will change how you are perceived and treated by customers and other businesses. Steven Teeuwsen started Lowland Project Space in one of Edmonton’s older communities when he discovered that the house next door to their residence was also for rent. Steven will be speaking about how Lowlands Project Space operates a hybrid not-for-profit / business model, and how that relates to his curatorial goals.
