Workshop Overview
Could your artist bio use an update? Do you struggle with what information to include? Do you want to bounce ideas off someone else? Or is this your first time writing an artist bio yourself? Then this Work Together is for you!
This upcoming SaskMusic Work Together is designed to make the process of writing your artist bio less intimidating, give you dedicated time to work on improving or updating your bio, as well as providing some guidance throughout.
Bring what you currently have for a bio and plan to leave with a better one! Andrea An of Nolita Studios will provide a checklist of artist bio dos and don’ts and will be on hand, along with SaskMusic staff, to help with questions throughout the evening as you work on your bio.
There will be pizza and we can all make a fun night of it!
