Join us for a special evening with acclaimed painter master of light Vincent Crotty for a live oil painting demonstration at TAG/NEAC. Born in Ireland and based in Boston for many years, Crotty is widely recognized for his expressive landscapes, seascapes, and figurative paintings. His work is celebrated for its fluid brushwork, rich color, and remarkable sensitivity to light, transforming everyday scenes into atmospheric and memorable images.

During this live demonstration, Vincent will paint in real time while sharing insights into his creative process, materials, and approach to capturing light, mood, and place on canvas. Guests will have the opportunity to observe his techniques up close, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the practice of oil painting.

This event is ideal for artists, collectors, and anyone interested in the art of painting.

Come experience the magic of paint unfolding on canvas

Join us for a thoughtful, artist-led critique session centered on open dialogue, shared insight, and collective growth. This group conversation invites artists to present their work and engage in a supportive exchange of ideas, perspectives, and constructive feedback.

Guided by Claudia’s experience as a curator, gallery director, and arts administrator, the session moves beyond simple critique. Through conversation, questions, and reflection, artists gain clarity around their work, its concept, presentation, and how it is perceived by others. The group dynamic becomes an essential part of the process, offering multiple viewpoints and fostering meaningful connections among participants.

This is not about judgment, but about insight. Come ready to share, listen, and deepen your understanding of your own practice within a community of peers.
Bring 2 - 4 pieces or digital images.

This is a FREE event.

In this conversation Claudia Fiks will offer artists a clear and practical overview of the evolving gallery ecosystem and current art market trends. The art world is not a single pathway but a constellation of models. Claudia will unpack how these structures operate, how revenue models differ, and what artists can realistically expect in terms of representation, visibility, and sales. She will also explore current trends shaping the art landscape, shifting collector behavior, the growing influence of online platforms, the continued importance of in-person relationships, and how artists can position themselves strategically in a saturated marketplace. Artists will gain tools to evaluate opportunities thoughtfully, understand where their work fits within different systems, and make decisions that align with their long-term goals rather than external pressure.
