Studio Arts Resume


In art, resumes are different. Actors use pieces of papers with text stapled to head shots. For other artists, their body of work is their resume. These are most commonly showcased in a portfolio. As a complement, the artist usually creates textual support to outline work that has been exhibited and/or reviewed.

A studio art resume is different than your typical resume as it is designed to market the artist’s work not the artist. In line with this, it has very little in the way of personal information and work experience- even related to the arts. A studio resume usually includes the artists contact information, including email addresses and websites, educational background, all exhibitions joined or done as a solo artist, awards or recognition for work done, media reviews, and any teaching experience. Again, the focus of a studio resume is ultimately to push the artists work first and the artist as a consequence.
