Artist Proposal Writing

Good intentions might sound nice, but it's positive actions that matter

An artist proposal is used for anything from applying for a solo exhibition, artist residency or a grant application. It is clarifying the what, why, where, how, and when. 

A proposal should be typed not handwritten and addressed to the right person and contact address. Always proofread your applications.

Artist Proposal Example

This example is proposing for an artist in school program. It is crucial to have all important information covered, yet in a short and sweat format.

Long proposals are a nightmare for staff to read through and too short ones usually vital information. Always have a lot of space between heading and text to make it more readable. Bullet points are a good way of keeping writing short and to the point. ​
