Sarah Schmerler will return to RAC on Sunday, July 23 to lead another interactive workshop, “Narrating Appearances.” Sarah will continue the conversation about effective writing for artists, but those who are serious about gaining skills, no matter their familiarity with the groundwork laid in the last session will also benefit.
Preregistration is required (max attendance is 50).

This session will be more intensive about how artists use language – how we choose our words, how they convey our intent, how the public perceives them.
Participants will deconstruct existing critical writing, engage in exercises that help them see how others see their work, and learn to make effective choices of words, of venue and structure so they know when to say what they want to say.
Sarah Schmerler is a writing specialist and art critic who has been teaching artists how to write for more than 25 years. She developed her own art-writing methodology at The New School, and has lectured at Yale, Parsons, Pace University, Pratt Institute, The Lower East Side Print Shop, Montclair State University, Chashama, The Brooklyn Arts Council, Pierogi Gallery, and numerous other venues. As a private consultant, she has written artist statements, mission statements, applications for graduate schools, residency and grant proposals, cover letters, book proposals, press releases, bios (short and narrative), and even entire websites for artists—who have gone on to great success.
She enjoys helping visual people find words that serve their work.
