Artist Statement & Artwork Photography Workshop
Feb
19

Artist Statement & Artwork Photography Workshop

“Don’t let good art become the victim of subpar photos and weak writing.”

Submitting to a juried exhibition requires more than great art—it requires great presentation. In many cases, your artist statement and photograph of your work are the first (and only) impression a juror has to your piece before making a decision.

That’s why the Greater Denton Arts Council and Artists Enclave of Denton County are proud to present this workshop to help artists strengthen the way they share their work with the world. 

This workshop is free to attend! Join us and learn how to write compelling, effective artist statements and photograph your artwork professionally using a smartphone!

Meet the Presenters:

Jon Black, will lead the artist statement portion of the workshop. He is an award-winning author of historical fiction and a frequent speaker on the craft and business of writing at conventions and authors’ events around the country. Topics covered by his presentations include promotion, marketing, and branding. Jon is also an internationally published music journalist, speech writer, ghostwriter, and game designer. As a visual artist, his work explores the intersection of language and pop-culture iconography, drawing inspiration from movements such as cubism, dada, and surrealism.

Leanne Schulz, an artist in marketing who bridges creativity and strategy to help artists tell their stories visually, will lead the phone-tography session. As Marketing Coordinator at the University of North Texas’s G. Brint Ryan College of Business, Leanne works at the intersection of art, content creation, and digital storytelling—specializing in social media marketing, photography, video, and podcast production.

This hands-on Phone-tography Workshop is designed for artists who want to capture their work authentically and confidently using the tools they already have. Open to both iOS and Android users, the workshop covers practical techniques for photographing artwork, creative spaces, and process shots, as well as capturing simple, effective video for social media and online promotion.

DBFF 2026: Frame the Future Storytelling Lab: Ages 13-20

DBFF 2026: Frame the Future Storytelling Lab: Ages 13-20

Frame the Future Storytelling Lab, presented by Fourddo in partnership with the Denton Black Film Festival, is a fast, creative workshop where youth watch Denver’s short film, created through Black Girls Film Camp, Find Me in the Void, and then develop original stories inspired by its themes. Through quick idea generation and collaborative creation, participants explore identity, courage, and imagination in a fun, supportive environment. No experience needed, just a willingness to express and create.

About the Lab

Frame the Future Film Lab, presented by Fourddo in partnership with the Denton Black Film Festival Institute, is a fast, fun, and creative crash course in storytelling, perfect for youth who want to try something new, express themselves, or just see what it feels like to run a real film set.

We’ll start by watching Denver’s short film created through Black Girls Film Camp, Find Me in the Void, as inspiration, then dive into a hands-on creative sprint where participants can choose how they want to tell a story: writing a scene, creating a poem or monologue, designing a storyboard, building a shot list, or performing a live short moment.

Youth will pitch ideas, collaborate like a writers’ room, and rotate through roles including directing, acting, filming, and creative producing. Scenes or pieces are presented live while another group films them, capturing the moment without needing a separate screening.

Whether you’re a future filmmaker or just curious about storytelling, this lab gives you the chance to experiment, collaborate, and create something you’re proud of—no pressure, all creativity. More information and tickets availble here.

Presenter: Denver Humphrey

DBFF 2026: Virtual Panels for Filmmaking - Beyond the Green Screen

Virtual walls are no longer just a big-budget Hollywood tool. They’re becoming accessible, flexible, and powerful options for filmmakers at every level. This panel brings together three unique perspectives on virtual wall production: an educator and filmmaker interested in using the technology in real projects, a studio owner who rents and supports virtual wall stages, and a manufacturer building the LED walls themselves. Together, they’ll break down what virtual walls actually are, when they make sense to use, and how filmmakers can realistically integrate them into their productions. We’ll talk honestly about the creative advantages, the technical considerations, and the common misconceptions. From storytelling and performance to budgeting, prep, and logistics, this conversation is designed to help filmmakers understand how virtual walls can expand what’s possible without losing the human side of filmmaking. More information and tickets availble here.

Moderator: Micah Autry, Filmmaker & Founder of Aume

Media Panelists: Adrian Neely, Filmmaker & Professor- Dallas College, George Apodaca, Founder & Creative Director of ArcPoint Studios and Millay Zhou, Sales Director at GCL Electronics, Inc.

The PETAL Project Pop-up Exhibit and Artist Talk with Vahid Valikhani

The PETAL Project Pop-up Exhibit and Artist Talk with Vahid Valikhani

Presented by The PETAL Project and GDAC:

Join us for a pop-up show and artist talk with photographer and documentary filmmaker Vahid Valikhani, whose work bridges photography and film to examine social, cultural, and historical dynamics through the lens of landscape.

Vahid’s photographic practice began with documenting constructed, altered, and often overlooked landscapes. His projects investigate the relationship among the environment, society, and the state, revealing how landscapes become sites of political agendas, consumerism, and environmental consequences. Shaped by experiences of displacement and adaptation, his cross-cultural perspective informs an ongoing exploration of belonging and the political dimensions of place. Reflecting on his approach, Vahid notes: “My creative process has been reshaped by displacement, politics, and cultural expectations. Photography became not only a way of navigating unfamiliar surroundings, but also a tool to process the cultural and social aspects of the place I inhabit.”

Vahid is the author of the monograph Nebraska, Tampa: The Return to the Streets (Tavaali Publication, 2025) and currently serves as Director of the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery at the University of Dallas. At the event, guests will have the opportunity to view selected works from his series Forms of Light, Elegies, and The Othered Eye, which reflect his sustained engagement with environmental and cultural narratives.
