Why is having an artist statement important?
Artist statements help the viewer not only better understand the work but also the artist themselves. It offers a way for the viewer to connect on a more personal level with the artist and ultimately brings more value to the work. Having an artist statement also helps us at GALA learn more about you and your work so that we are able to use your voice to help sell. your work. It’s a way for you to be here without physically being here.
If you have your own artist statement that you would like to use, please send it in an email or use the box that is labeled “ Describe your work” thank you!
