Supporting Individual Artists: Artist Work Documentation

Recorded On: 05/26/2020

imageAbout this Webinar

Compelling documentation is an invaluable tool for an artist to advance their career. It plays a critical role in the competitive grant process and can serve as an important archive of their evolving practice, contributing to the field at large. However, dedicated support for documentation is rare. In this webinar, artists Sita Bhaumik and Jocelyn Jackson, co-founders of the People’s Kitchen Collective and Adriana Grino, Program Officer at the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, will discuss the role of documentation in artist’s work, how to balance goals for documentation between funders and artists, as well as the importance of representation and cultural competency in documentation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understanding the impact of documentation for artists
  • How documentation can expand the reach of artists’ work
  • Identifying practices for how to support artists in documenting their work 
  • How to advance your program’s goals through documentation 

This project is supported in part by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
