Project Critique: Lens-Based Artists

Many artists find that sustained critique over several weeks helps them see patterns, strengths, and possibilities in their work that are difficult to identify when working alone. This is where Project Critique comes in!

Project Critique: Lens-Based Artists is a seven-week online course for photographers and video artists working on their lens-based practice or body of work.

Participants meet weekly in a small group via Zoom to share work, receive thoughtful feedback, and develop greater clarity around their projects. Sessions are structured to support both critique and project development, allowing artists to revisit their work over time and incorporate feedback as their projects evolve.

The program culminates in an online exhibition and an artist talk (Week 7) where each participant presents their work and will discuss their process and the work they have developed during the program.
