Artist Statement vs. Artist Bio: What’s the Difference?

Two and a half years ago when I started an art business I didn’t know anything about the art world. I was basically at the Kindergarten level and needed to learn a lot, fast. I was clueless the first time I was asked for a bio and an artist statement and it was difficult to find informative information. My hope is that this blog will help new artists write winning statements and bios that reflect who they are as artists and make their applications stand out.

Key Points:

  1. A Bio should be written in 3rd person. Think of it as your introduction and a glimpse into your background. For example, if you were a guest on a podcast, the host would read your bio to the audience to introduce you.

  2. A Statement is written in 1st person. This is your opportunity to allow the audience a peek inside your soul as an artist. What, how and why do you paint. What do you want people to feel when they look at your art.

  3. Never combine them
