Critique Group

Taking the fear out of artist feedback.

First Friday of each month from 3-5 pm

Critiques are an indispensable component of every artist’s education, growth, and individual path—no matter how many years you’ve been practicing. Many artists are fearful of critiques — but they’re actually rewarding experiences to help you dig deeper into your process, inspirations, and techniques.

Our free monthly Critique Group focuses on constructive feedback—not fear—to help you reflect on the purpose—and progress—of your journey as an artist. Moderated by Elysia Michaelsen, PenArt’s Artistic Director, the group invites artists of all levels and backgrounds to come together for a conversation.

Reserve a 30-minute virtual block to share your in-progress or finished work, ask questions of the group, and discuss what might be next—or just come to share your viewpoints and learn from other artists. Elysia transcribes the feedback so you can focus on the conversation at hand and review the comments once you head back into your studio and continue working.

Open to artists of all levels.
