Art Critique hosted by Eva Kelley
This is opportunity to get and give constructive feedback among fellow artists. RESERVE A SPOT here.
Bring your work in for constructive critique, feedback, and guidance from peers. You will also be giving your fellow artists the same feedback.
This will be an opportunity for growth whether you need help with technique, messaging, context, collaboration, etc. We will all be expected to go beyond "wow, that's really good!" and dive deeper into our work and our practice.
Each person will have an allotted amount of time (tbd depending on how many artists attend) to show some of their work and have the group focus specifically on them.
This is also a great opportunity to share helpful resources, books, calls for art in the community, and where you are showing.
