Excerpts
from the Book
From the Introduction:
Letters,
Biographies, Résumés, Brochures, Artist's
Statements, Press Releases, Websites, Newsletters, Testimonial/Comment
Sheets, CD-ROMS, Videotapes, Gallery Presentation Materials,
Artist / Gallery Agreements, Consignment Agreements, Grant
Proposals, Bill of Sale and Invoices. These are some of
the tools that help you build a strong presentation in the
sale and exhibition of your work. They comprise your career
management team. When put into motion they can become your
strongest support system and your most assertive sales force.
They are the vital instruments that launch and sustain the
careers of successful, full-time, self-sufficient artists.
This book provides many samples of each along with step-by-step
instructions on how to prepare them.
From Chapter 2: Writing it Right
Although a résumé is somewhat standardized
and usually begins with the exhibition listings, you should
arrange the categories to highlight your strongest achievements.
Many artists think they need to begin their résumés
with education, although other accomplishments you achieve
after graduation have more significance as a professional
artist.
List one-person (solo) and group exhibitions separately
if you have more than three in each category; otherwise
list them together and place an asterisk (*) next to one-person...

Story
behind the book Presentation Power Tools:
Renée
Phillips, author says:
"As
a career consultant artists have come to me asking for help with
writing their biographies, résumés
and cover letters. I have also assisted them with gallery contracts
and artist's statements. Over the years I wrote and printed samples
for them. Before long I had a 130 page book! Thanks
to artists and artists' reps the book is in its third edition! We
have helped thousands of artists around the world!"
