Are you looking for honest, supportive feedback on your work — or simply want to be part of a vibrant creative conversation?
CAA MiniCrit is a facilitated monthly, work-in-progress critique group hosted by the Cambridge Art Association, open to emerging, mid-career, and professional artists of all levels and training. MiniCrit is designed to give artists structured feedback, an honest dialogue, and a supportive, professional community that can be so hard to find outside of a formal academic setting.
The three presenting artists will share their work-in-progress with the group in an intimate and supportive environment. A different visiting artist or arts professional will facilitate each month, guiding the conversation and bringing fresh perspective and professional insight to every session. All mediums and disciplines are welcome — strong facilitation draws on universal principles of composition, color, concept, and form that apply across every artistic practice.
The three presenting artist spots are limited and sold first come, first served. General attendance spots are open to all.
