The Crit Lab community has grown into a powerful, connected, intimate force of working artists.
The Lab engages in non-hierarchical discussion around your artistic practice, first and foremost honoring the autonomy of the artist and the artwork. One of the most powerful and unique aspects of The Crit Lab is the careful curation of the groups. Join us in a space of curiosity, empathy, radical listening and rigorous exchange.
Space is limited.
Returning artists have priority.

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 director, staff, visiting artists and faculty. We offer generous flexible interest-free payment plans and are happy to support you in joining The Lab.
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. Deposits are fully refunded if the Lab changes dates, or for any reason does not accept your application, and for special circumstances.
Application does not obligate or guarantee placement or participation. Your application keeps a space in the curation process.
