Guide to Writing Your Artistic Resume

An artistic resume highlights your creative achievements and professional experiences in your chosen discipline. It differs from a traditional resume by focusing on artistic education, exhibitions, performances, collaborations, and other relevant artistic endeavors. For emerging artists, the emphasis is on potential, dedication, and the breadth of your experiences rather than an extensive career history.

Key Components of an Artistic Resume:

1. Contact Information
2. Artistic Statement or Objective
3. Education
4. Artistic Experience
5. Skills and Techniques
6. Awards and Honors
7. Professional Affiliations
8. Volunteer Work or Community Engagement

Tips for Emerging Artists: 

1. Be Selective: Focus on quality over quantity. Include only the most impactful and relevant experiences.
2. Organize Clearly: Use headers and bullet points for easy readability.
3. Tailor It: Adjust your resume to emphasize experiences that align with the scholarship’s goals.
4. Keep It Short: Aim for 1-2 pages, depending on your experience.
5. Proofread: Ensure there are no spelling or grammar errors.
6. Use Professional Formatting: Choose clean fonts (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman) and consistent formatting.
