Former Rasmuson Individual Artist Awards Panelist Panel
By Anchorage Museum
In this general session open to the public, including artists considering applying for 2023 awards, hear from former Rasmuson Individual Artist Awards (IAA) panelists about the application process.
Panelists will reflect on what makes a strong application and discuss strategies for presenting work for panel review for IAA and similar opportunities such as funding, residences, and fellowships. While designed for those who might be applying Rasmuson awards, this session also will provide supportive strategies for composing portfolios and statements for external reviewers for any artistic opportunity. Free.
