The Crit Lab 2022
Online, In-Person, Hybrid (covid dependent)
We have 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. Director Patricia Miranda carefully reviews all applications and websites to organize groups that will create dynamic and productive discussion. Therefore your application notes available days only. You will be notified about which group you will be invited to join. Feel free to contact us with questions about the process and dates. Application does not guarantee a spot.

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. We offer generous flexible payment plans and are happy to chat with all artists about ways to join The Lab.

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 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. Full refunds minus a $30 administrative fee are available up to 14 days before the session starts. Due to the impact on the curation and small number of artists in each group, cancelation within 7 days incurs a $100 administrative fee.
