This is the former Crit Club Group with the addition of guest critics! Perfect for those who need feedback, or want to discuss art and art issues with a group of peers. Feel like you are working in a vacuum or without community context? Join other artists and a special guest for a 3-hour discussion at which artists receive focussed, constructive critique. If you want to sign up for a critique, email Adriana at [email protected]. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate in the dialogue, whether you are sharing work or not.
Dunlop Art Gallery Assistant Curator Blair Fornwald will be the October guest critic. She is fun, approachable and has loads of insight.
Free, artists of all genders are welcome! Spaces are limited. To sign up for a critique email Adriana at [email protected].
