Why Create Art in a Vacuum?
Join us at Suite G Studio for our first group critique. Each artist brings one to two (within the same series) pieces, either finished or in progress, to receive feedback from other artists and a guest professional moderator. This is a fun, engaging, relaxed atmosphere to talk about your work, get the perspectives from fellow artists, while having the opportunity to learn about their work practices.
Each artist will have a 10-15 minute slot in which the moderator and artists discuss their work. They will be given 5 minutes at the end of their crit to discuss or explain their work.
Cost $30
Space is limited to 10 participants. To reserve your spot you can Venmo @suiteg $30, or BECOME A MEMBER! for $40/month, come to all drawing groups and other events for free. However, you must still RSVP to hold your spot.More About Melissa Abercrombie
