The Writing Resource Center (WRC) is a fantastic service that is available to help students improve their writing, including Artist Statements.

Our peer tutors can help you with spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other editing. They can also help you brainstorm if you get stuck and give you feedback on how your artist statement sounds.

You can drop by the WRC any time it's open or you can make an appointment online.

Because the good news is, in spite of self-conscious objections about writing, artists can recover their own words.
