Writer Mia Gallagher will host eight evening sessions for artists to
exchange ideas, receive and give feedback on works-in-progress and
hone their critical skills. Each week, one or two of the participating
artists will submit work for detailed feedback from the group. Mia
will use the Liz Lerman Critical Response model to structure feedback.
This is a respectful, group-process approach which allows both
artists and respondents to deepen their level of critical awareness
and rigour. The sessions are open to artists of all disciplines but we
would ask that all participants commit to all eight weeks.
