Critique Group

PenArt Critique Group

FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH, 3-5PM OPEN TO ALL | FREE | ONLINE

Critiques are an indispensable component of every artist’s education, growth, and individual path. Unfortunately, far too many see it as a setting to be feared. Rather, look at it as a rest stop along your studio practice’s ongoing journey; a place to stop, check your direction, clear the trash out of the car, and refresh yourself for the next leg. Filled with practical information from a variety of perspectives, critiques provide you with the means to reflect on the purpose and progress of your journey.

Moderated by PenArt’s Director of Education Elysia Michaelsen, Critique Group invites artists of all levels and media to come together for conversation. Reserve a 30-minute block to share your in-progress and/or finished work, ask questions of the group, and discuss what might be next. Feedback is transcribed by Elysia, so you can focus on the conversation at hand and revisit comments once you return to your home studio and continue working.
