Artist Statements with Gemma Weston

Learn to translate your art practice into words with Gemma Weston. In this 1h Webinar, you’ll learn to construct your own artist statement to accompany your artwork that can be customised for awards, grants, websites and exhibition applications. Gemma will discuss techniques for creating clear, concise, descriptive and individual language and examine how language can be tailored to different contexts. Participants will also have the opportunity to submit an artist statement of 300 words or less for individual feedback and editing. 

Gemma is Perth Festival's Visual Arts Program Associate, overseeing the curation and delivery of the Festival's Visual Arts Program Partnership with Wesfarmers Arts. From 2013 - 2019 she was Curator of the Cruthers Collection of Women's Art at UWA's Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery and has also co-founded two 'artist-run' galleries, OK Gallery (2011-13) and Pet Projects (2015 - 2017). She publishes regularly on contemporary art. Her writing has recently been included in Monash University Museum of Arts' Certain Situations, a monograph on the work of Agatha Gothe-Snape and in journals Art Monthly Australasia, Artlink and Western Australia's Semaphore.
