Artist Resume
Your resume summarizes your professional art activities and past accomplishments. It represents you to the public and often may be the first thing an art professional sees about you. This can be a deciding element for inclusion in a commercial gallery or your success or failure in getting a grant.

Major areas that you should include:
1. Name

2. Address

3. Telephone Number

4. E-mail Address

5. Education
List the name of the school
Your Area of Specializarion
Year you finished this schooling
(list recent classes you have taken if you wish)

6. Exhibitions or Performances
(include any collaborative projects you have undertaken)

7. Awards and Grants

8. Exhibition reviews and articles
List in alphabetical order
You can include any published writing that includes your name. This includes any online web references. *Please contact Dichroic Alchemy for inclusion into our online gallery.

9. Collections
Include any private collections as well. One good example of this is to donate to an auction such as the Glass Art Society action or a local glass school auction. Whomever purchases your work now is a private collector of your work. Make sure to keep records of these sales through organizations.

10. Art-related Employment
List all art-related design and design-related work experience. List dates of employment and job responsibilities detailed.

11. References
Artists that you work with are great references (if you trust them to speak professionally about you). Make sure you have contacted your references prior to someone calling them so they are prepared for the conversation.

Your resume is a flexible mass of information that you present about yourself. If can be as conventional or as expressive as you like. When you do stray too far from accepted formatting though you do run the risk of looking unprofessional. It should be clean, sharp, and as readable as possible. Update your resume every six months or so to keep it current.
