a guide to writing an artist statement

This easy-to-use workbook is designed to help artists write statements about their work. I’ve effectively used this questionnaire when I work with artists, and it works if you want to DIY your statement as well. The guide includes a set of questions and a step-by-step guide.

a grownup’s guide to exploring museums with a kid

A guide for adults who could use some guidance for making museum visits with kids easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful. The information here is based on my 20 years in the field, and includes planning tips, ideas for getting the most out of the experience, and even some “museum insider” facts. This universal guide can work at any museum, zoo, aquarium, or historic site, either on its own or in conjunction with the museum’s own materials.

This companion piece to the grownup’s guide offers some of the same tips and information, but in kid-friendly language. Print out both guides and bring them along on your next museum visit. The kid’s guide can be shared among multiple children, or used individually. Like the grownup’s guide, this guide is universal; its ideas apply anywhere.
