Group Crit for Emerging Artists

Accessible art crits

Art crits for artists either without a formal education or those already outside of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree.

What to expect from an art crit?

Our group crits are usually under 10 people. Artists bring one work/project they would like to present and each artist has 20-30 minutes to get feedback from the group. The format is less intimidating than a portfolio review, and you get a variety of feedback from a group of your peers.
