Join us on October 29th, from 6-8:30 PM, for our monthly Critique Group!
Bring an unfinished piece you'd like feedback on, or simply come to meet and support fellow artists in the community. To ensure everyone gets ample time for feedback, please arrive on time. If you’re more than 20 minutes late, you won’t be eligible to present your work.

This event is open to members and non-members alike—everyone is welcome to participate or just listen in. As is tradition, if time allows, we’ll head next door for sushi at Totto afterward! See you there!

Pecha Kucha is a presentation format created by a Japanese architecture firm in the early 2000s. Presenters share a slideshow of 20 image-only slides that auto-play for 20 seconds each, creating a concise and engaging storytelling experience.

As a reminder, Cohort #5 (Nina Pearl Grauley, Lisa Houser, Linnea Moody, & Sofia Rudakevych) currently has their art on display at the Hamilton County BDC building here in Northshore (100 Cherokee Blvd). The BDC is open during the week from 8 AM - 5 PM. You can also view and shop their work through our online gallery (link in bio). Come out and support this community of emerging artists!
