Final paragraph

The final paragraph is a conclusion wrapping up what you have conveyed to the reader and

informing the reader how you will contact the reader and/or provide more information if needed.

Enclosures

Add the word “Enclosures” below your signature to alert the reader to look for accompanying

material. Common enclosures are resumes, images, artist’s statement, artist’s biography, self-

addressed stamped envelope, etc.

Always check your grammar and spelling before sending out your letters.

Cover Letters in the Digital Age

When sending a resume via email then the email itself is the cover letter and while the basic

structure is still applicable there is no reason to create headings. Also, since the email is the

cover letter there is no reason to attach a separate letter.

All artists/designers NEED to have a web site in the Digital Age. Your cover letter should direct

the reader to your web site so that your work can be viewed, whether sending a traditional letter

or an email.

Instead of having a cover letter on your web site, your artist statement, bio, etc. can serve much

the same purpose educating the reader about you, your work and your employability.

While some people still put out calls for art and wish to see slides, this form of submission is

rapidly disappearing and digital representation of work is paramount.
