March Critique Group By Parker Sketch


ARTISTS TALKING ABOUT ART! All kinds of art welcome!

This month FAVO is hosting the event. The facilities at FAVO are outdoors, so if the forecast is looking bad a few days out, we will move it to an alterna...
te venue.

Favo is a new artists studio space on Colonial, close to Downtown.
The address is;
221 E Colonial, 32801

Entrance on Highland, just North of Colonial.

... Part critique group, part open discussion. We are hosting our artists' session again in February!

This is a limited space event. Once we reach capacity for participants that are showing art, we can put you on the standby list and you can participate without showing art. Due to the size of the venue, we can invite people to participate in the discussion without showing art.

It doesn't matter what kind of art you do, we have had oil painters, papermakers, glass artsts, found object sculptors, video artists, watercolor painters, ceramicists, artists who draw and collage, jewelry artists, printmakers, etc. It also doesn't matter how much experience you have. We have included artists who have never shown and artists who are nationally recognized competition winners. The point is to get people from many different styles, backgrounds, and experience levels together to talk about everyones' work!

This is a group of artists talking as peers.The discussions have included pricing, finding materials, technique, framing, exhibition opportunities, and, yes, traditional critique. We are trying to mix different artists and get them talking about art! We will be looking at everyone's art individually, and talk about it for about 10 minutes. I know it is short, but the idea is not only to get other people to talk about your art, but to spend the evening talking about everyone's art!

We are looking for brand new art. By "brand new", I mean the newest art that you have. And if you bring more than one, please make them all be part of a series. Or if they aren't part of a series, make sure that you are prepared to talk about the art as a group.
