Maker’s Night Reboot!
Tuesday, March 4, 2025
After several years of running our Maker’s Night and Artist Gathering, we thought we had enough overlap in people attending and interest that we’d combine the two into an “Artist Meet-up”.
Next Up: The Crit Group
The Crit Group who will be exhibiting “Grist” in the gallery will be kicking off our first session to help guide a conversation around critiquing work. Feel free to bring a piece of your own work to share!
According to the Crit Group, "We believe that meeting with one's peers is essential to a healthy artistic process. We hold regular sessions to display and examine each other's work - many times works are in progress - and find it has led to a unique bond amongst group members. We share a verbal and visual history, for some of us spanning decades, which has led to a deep trust in each other's opinion. We all must, of course, return to our studios alone. But the time spent in The Crit Group enhances not only our artistic processes but also every aspect of our lives."
Join us for our monthly Artist's Meet-Up! Half of the sessions will be around practical topics that have been very popular among our artist and maker community such as: how to price your work, managing your social media, taxes, vendor booth setup and the like.
The other half of our meetings will be for artists to listen to other artists share their work and/or to share their own work, guided by a working artist in the field. Beyond that, this is a social event for us to support and meet one another and to share ideas!
Artist Meet-up Program (Alternating Monthly)
We will alternate each month between the “Professional Tune-up” and “Artist Circle”. Depending on how things roll, we’ll adjust from there!
