LOCATION: Online via Zoom
Register to attend HERE
Art has the power to speak directly to our hearts, but as artists we sometimes need to convey our ideas into words as well. Jessica Gardner of Artglish is a language coach with a background in both art and ESL (English as a second language). In this interactive workshop, she’ll share strategies to help you make your portfolio language more accurate, engaging, and organized so you can confidently write and speak about your creative vision. Participants are encouraged to have a digital jpeg image of their artwork to screen share via zoom with fellow attendees.
