APPLICATION STATEMENT GUIDELINE
Sàn Art Laboratory Advisors (assessors of all applications) select participants who they feel are
most suitable for the program and would most benefit from the program.
The application statement is therefore your opportunity to explain to the Advisors the following
important matters:
 Who you are as an artist (including your artistic philosophy, practice and interests and the
current challenges in your creative processes)
 Your proposed research topic or project for Sàn Art Laboratory (including its inspiration,
relevance and meaning in the current artistic climate)
 Your vision of growth and development in the next 3-5 years
We encourage you to be clear and specific so that the Advisors gain an insightful understanding
of you and your work through this application statement.
