Writing for the Exhibition

This course is aimed at curators, PR and museum workers, and everyone tasked with effectively communicating exhibitions to varying levels of audience.

You will be given the necessary tools to write for a spectrum of forms, from a press release to a wall text, with an emphasis on analysing good examples of short-form writing, from museum labels to website copy.

You will learn about:

• Explaining ideas and artworks effectively to create enjoyable and insightful text – whether a solo show, a group exhibition, or a multi-part collaborative project
• Avoiding overly dense, jargoned language without dumbing down content
• Mastering the ‘art of description’: honing your reader’s attention on selected aspects of the artwork to express your ideas effectively

Lunch and refreshments are included in the course fee
