This course will help you to bring out the best in your professional presentation as a curator. Learn tips and techniques to formulate your CV, curatorial statement, personal biography and portfolio in a way that highlights your strongest expertise and expresses your curatorial interests. You will be led through the different standards of writing these documents and explore ways to adapt them to different contexts. Finally, we will explore how to conduct yourself professionally in the field of curating, from promoting your work to others to meeting best practice guidelines.


By the end of the course, you will be ready to go with your own clear, concise and engaging CV, statement, biography and portfolio and the know-how for conducting and communicating your practice in a professional way.
