The Crit Lab community has grown into a powerful, connected, intimate force of working artists.

Join us as we invent new ways to create, to share, to show, and to talk about art.

We are inspired by the digital space, with no geographic limits, and the new ways we share from our private spaces, and the unique intimacy of meeting without physical bodies. Online everyone has a front row seat, we share equal space in the room, we make room for one another. As we move ahead we consider new possibilities, and alongside environmental concerns of travel, we craft new ways of working, making, and reflecting. One of the most powerful and unique aspects of The Crit Lab is the careful curation of the groups.

The Crit Lab engages in non-hierarchical  discussion around your artistic practice, first and foremost honoring the autonomy of the artist and the artwork. Join us in a space of curiosity, empathy, radical listening and rigorous exchange.

Space is limited. 

Returning artists have priority space.

Fall Labs are Virtual + Hybrid (safety dependent)

A deposit of $100 for payment plans is required to hold your space. 

SCROLL DOWN FOR PAYMENT INFO+LINK.

Once groups are formed Lab and payment info will be sent to all critters.

We offer generous flexible interest-free payment plans and are happy to chat about ways to join The Lab. The Crit Lab is an artist-run self-funded organization. We are committed to to keeping program costs for artists as low as possible, while paying a fair wage to our visiting artists and faculty. 

There are no refunds once sessions begins or for missed meetings. This assures commitment to the process, builds continuity, confidence, and integrity between members, and protects the nature of the relationships built in the meetings. While we understand that life happens, we ask that everyone do their best to clear their schedules for all dates. Switching groups is not possible once the session begins. 

Due to the impact on the curation and small number of artists in each group, $100 deposit is non-refundable for cancellations within 14 days of the start of the session. Deposits are fully refunded if the Lab changes dates or for any reason does not accept your application. 

Application does not obligate or guarantee placement or participation. Applying holds a space for the curation process.
