Writing A Good Art Resume

So - from both sides of the table, applying to a job, or on the other hand a juried art show could look like this.

Out of the two people in this picture, I must say I least envy the lady with the piles and piles of paper to go through.

You can be a fabulous fantabulous artist, but if you don’t have a good art resume - your chances of getting into shows or getting grants  and so on, are slim.

The point is - there is a person who goes through all the many resumes and portfolio’s, that has to make a decision or a choice between all the artists that sent her information, and you need to make there reading experience of your resume as pleasant and as easy as possible.
