A strong artist’s statement, bio, and CV are essential for grant applications, and for sharing and promoting your work. Join us for a workshop with interdisciplinary artist Joni Cheung to work through the basics of writing and refining these important texts.
This workshop will cover the essential elements of professional writing for artists – artist statements, bios, and CV’s. Learn how to differentiate these elements and effectively communicate your arts practice and experiences while highlighting your accomplishments.
Snack Witch Joni Cheung is a grateful, uninvited guest born—and knows she wants to die—on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Stó:lō, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh peoples. They are a Certified Sculpture Witch with an MFA from Concordia University (2023). She holds a BFA with Distinction in Visual Art (2018) from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. As a wicked #magicalgirl ✨ who eats art and makes snacks, she has exhibited and curated shows, off- and online, across Turtle Island. Currently, they are based on the stolen lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka peoples.
They are a recipient of numerous awards, including the Research and Creation Grant: Canada Council for the Arts and the Dale and Nick Tedeschi Studio Arts Fellowship. She was waitlisted for the SSHRC – Joseph-Armand Bombardier: Canada Graduate Master’s Scholarship.
Aside from art-making, Joni likes wandering down grocery store aisles and drinking bubble tea.
