CRIT CLUB is a casual, drop-in monthly meeting that allows artists to connect with other artists. CRIT CLUB is meant as an in-person platform to showcase, share and see new work by other creatives as well as receive feedback and direction. Anyone is welcome to present their work for feedback, or to simply show up to be a part of the community and give feedback to those who are showing their work.
CRIT CLUB Participation Guidelines:
- Artists may present work once per Crit Club season.
- After presenting, artists are welcome to join the waitlist for another presentation opportunity if space becomes available.
- Before presenting, artists are asked to attend at least one session as a peer artist
- Attending as a peer artist is an important part of Crit Club. Offering feedback and engaging in discussion supports both your own creative practice and the wider artistic community. Many participants find peer sessions just as valuable as presenting their own work.
- Participation fees remain the same for all attendees. All fees go directly toward supporting Crit Club and other CV/Arts programming, including initiatives such as microgrants.
- Crit Club sessions take place off-site in studio spaces that are selected for accessibility and ease of access, including consideration for participants with disabilities. Hosting artists receive a short presentation slot to share information about their studio space, practice, or current work.
- The Crit Club season follows the school calendar, running from September through May, with a break in December. Sessions currently take place once per month.
