A group crit is one of the best ways for artists to understand how their work communicates to a larger audience and to improve their public speaking skills. Bring a completed artwork of yours and receive feedback from other artists and peers.
Through this process, you will be able to hone your critical thinking skills and gain a better understanding of how your work is perceived by others. This is a great opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals, share your work, and receive valuable feedback in a supportive and collaborative environment. Join us and take your artistic practice to the next level!
