The Painting Center’s New Initiative: Artist Virtual Critiques

The Painting Center’s New Initiative: Artist Virtual Critiques on Zoom

The purpose of this program is to critique an artist’s work, generate conversation, and elicit queries and suggestions.

Beginning this Fall, The Painting Center will host individual Artist Virtual Critiques on Zoom every month. A team of two gallery members, including some current and former faculty members from colleges and universities, will work with an artist for one hour and fifteen minutes during a scheduled evening.  

The fee is $175.00 for the critique but we can offer a sliding scale fee.

To apply, artists must send five JPEG images of paintings, relevant drawings, or studies, and an explanation of what they hope to accomplish. Upon acceptance, a date and time will be scheduled, and the fee will be collected. 

After acceptance, please prepare a slideshow of up to 20 images, a brief statement about the work in the portfolio, and a list of questions, concerns, or ambitions you would like to address during the critique. 

Please submit this form and the accompanying images to artistcritique@thepaintingcenter.org.

Testimonials

“I would unreservedly recommend the artist critique recently offered by The Painting Center. The 75 minutes that I spent with Sue Havens and Dale Emmart affirmed the seriousness of my work and made me feel truly seen. They also pointed out very specific passages within each work that were either unintentional or simply left unfinished or filled in. I did not disagree. Their lifelong experience and, most important, their passion and love for painting was inspirational.”

“Thank you! It was very helpful and I had a good experience.”
