The Art Critique
We are fostering a supportive community of artists who create significant and relevant work. This is best displayed in our art critiques. Once you see a critique, you won’t be able to unfeel it!
- In-Person critiques are held @ The Castiglia Art Center (Second floor of the Print Shop) on the Roycroft Campus located at 21 South Grove St, East Aurora, NY, 14052
- Students have the opportunity to discuss their work verbally on their own or by having someone else read a prepared statement. This is their platform. It is an open forum. We do not censure thoughts and ideas
- For each critique, we create a different panel of professionals from the visual art community who share their thoughts on each painting. In the past, we have had many different artists serve on the panel from all over the country, including artists who are internationally recognized and have paintings in the permanent collection of art museums, like the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
- After both the student and individuals on the panel speak about each piece, we open up the conversation to everyone else in attendance
- While many of our students choose to keep their paintings, they are given the opportunity to put their paintings up for sale during the critique
