Artist Resume Tips:
Writing an art resume and a usual job resume are two different tasks. It is always better to keep softcopy of your resume on your computer so that you can easily change or update it. All resumes, whether it is an art resume or a resume related to any other field, should be clear and easy to read.
Usually an art resume is two to three pages in length. Most of the artists have two versions of their resumes, one page version and a long version. The resume should be properly typed, readable and printed on a quality paper.

An art resume must include the following.

In this section, first you have to mention your full name at the top of page and it should be larger in font size than the remaining information presented in the resume. Then you need to write your mailing address, email address, phone number, fax number and Website (if any).
Education
After providing your personal information, list all the honors received and academic degrees earned. Mention schools, colleges, and universities you attended. You can also list the additional classes or workshops you attended and the notable teachers or artists you have studied with.
