Description

Critique Day is a monthly opportunity for artists to present 1-2 pieces of their work for constructive feedback in a small group setting (Max. 5).  A cross section of invited artists and art professionals will help explore varied perspectives, examine technical and emotional components, and aid in seeing more objectively. Our goal for Critique Day is to encourage artists to find their own creative voice, and to provide technical and professional guidance with all their artistic pursuits, in a sensitive and supportive manner.
