The Healthy Artist | Arty Bollocks: Unpacking Art Speak w/ Martha Lamont & Dan Curtis

Ever stood in front of a gallery text and felt your eyes glaze over? You're not alone, and it's not you.

This week, Dan's back, and we're unpacking "art speak" (aka International Art English): where it came from, why almost nobody enjoys writing it, who it ends up excluding, and what to do instead.

Want help finding your own way to write about your work?

 Our six-month, one-to-one Healthy Artist mentorship gives you dedicated time to deepen your practice and build momentum in the studio. On session 5 you have a 1.5 hour 1:1 with Dan about articulating and writing about your work in a way that feels authentic to you. If this sounds good to you, you can check out all of our offerings over on thehealthyartist.com
