Archiving for Artists (October 8, 2016) Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC
We invite all North Carolina visual artists to apply for Archiving
for Artists, a day-long workshop to be held at the Mint
Museum Randolph Location in Charlotte, NC on Saturday, October 8, 2015. This workshop
is designed to empower artists to develop sustainable practices for personal and studio archiving.
Archiving for Artists will
cover strategies for organization, preservation, and documentation that will help make your archives an integral and useful part of your artistic practice. Having good documentation of your artwork and career will make it easier for you to apply for grant
funding, prepare to sell your artwork, and manage the legal aspects of your artistic practice. In the workshop, you will get hands-on experience with a variety of tools and strategies in both large and small group sessions, including best practices for both
digital and physical media.
Archiving for Artists is
free, however, only twenty-five spots are available for the NCMA event in October. If you are interested in participating, please apply using this online form: https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0xsRBIA6oTCCUCh We
are committed to accepting a diverse group of artists from a wide variety of backgrounds, all career stages, and different visual arts media. Please
note--if you are a studio assistant to an artist, please apply for the artist only and then note your name where requested below to accompany the artist to the workshop.
Archiving for Artists is
made possible with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and additional support from the University of North Carolina’s University Library, Art Department, and School of Information and Library Science. We also wish to thank the
North Carolina Museum of Art and the Mint Museum for their support in hosting Archiving
for Artists. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact JJ
