Tell me A Tale.. writing a compelling Bio and Press Release.

Whatever your business one thing is for sure...you need to know what YOUR story is. 
Let's start by noting the difference in a "Bio" and your "Business's Story/ Press Release"


BIO: should be short, contain your stats- name (duh), birthdate, hometown/s(?), "artist statement", brief background pertinent to your business


Business Story / Press Release: More in-depth but not a novel! (who wants to re-write their business plan anyway??)
Be Personal : Let the public in on YOUR UNIQUE story and what lead you to your current path.

Find your angle: (Write your story in 3rd person). When finding your story look for some thing unique and catchy about your individual circumstances...Got a unique muse? are you deaf? were you homeless? Remember people are already interested in what artistic people have to say; because artist express emotions in ways that their audience cannot, which is what connect artist to fan. So WRITE something YOU  would want to READ.  
(re-call all your creative and descriptive writing classes from school/college)


Happy Story Telling

Spreading the LOVE

I volunteer at my sons school once a week teaching art to his 2nd grade class. It is an interesting experience for me as an art teacher, to see what the younger students view of creativity is and see what they can handle. Trust me it is not always easy getting 30, eight year olds to pay attention, especially with more intricate instructions.

Are you an artist and or parent who gives back? How do you volunteer your talents to better your community....?? Any tips from you guys out there who volunteer regularly?
