The Crit Lab Fall 2021:
Online, In-Person, Hybrid
We are excited to soon be together once again in a physical space - with one another and with the artwork. We have also been inspired by how the digital space has no geographic limits, the new ways in which we can share from our private spaces, and the unique intimacy of meeting in a space without physical bodies. As we move ahead we consider the variables, and alongside the environmental concerns of travel, craft new ways of working, making, reflecting. The Crit Lab community has grown into a powerful, connected, intimate force of artists. Join us as we invent new ways to share, to make, to talk about art.

One of the unique aspects of design of The Crit Lab from its founding in 2013 is the curation of the groups by director Patricia Miranda. Patricia carefully goes through all the artist applications to organize groups that will create dynamic and productive discussion. Therefore your application notes your available days only. You will be notified about which groups you are assigned.

There are no refunds 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 meetings. While we understand that life happens, we ask that everyone do their best to clear their schedules for all dates. Full refunds minus a $50 administrative fee are available up to 7 days before the session starts. Due to the impact on the curation and small number of artists in each group, cancelations within 7 days incurs a $100 administrative fee.
