Fall 2025 Crit Lab applications are now closed. 

All groups are now full. Join us in Spring 2026!

Curated cohorts create an amazing creative stew.

One of the extraordinary components of the Crit Lab is the careful curation of artists into meaningful cohorts. Labs are determined by curation combined with schedule. Applications ask for a selection of preferences for Labs and dates. Artists are placed in a Lab and notified once curation is complete. We appreciate your patience as this magic comes together. Trust that it makes for amazing cohorts.

Curation of the groups begins August 15.

Labs start week of September 2.

Visit Labs to learn about the different Crit Labs.

Visit About page for details about Lab pedagogy.

Visit Artist Pages to see the current cohort of Lab artists.

Visit the Fellowship page to learn about benefits, meet current and past Fellows, and for application.

Orientation is required for all artists new to the Crit Lab.

Application holds your space in the curation process. Applications do not obligate or guarantee placement or participation. Space is NOT held if application is not filled out. Info on cohorts and dates is sent once sessions are curated. Priority registration for returning critters is August 15.
