Crit Lab Consulting

Empowering Artists and Artist Communities through Collaborative Visioning

The Crit Lab offers Private and Group Consulting for the Artistic, Business, and Technical needs of artists and organizations.

Ecosystems for a Meaningful Artistic Practice

Art does not live in a vacuum, artists don't need to either. Crafting an ethical nurturing ecosystem is fundamental for the work and for artists to thrive. Artists are makers, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise without substantial institutional support. Collaboration and community is key. Together we can craft and nurture sustainable structures to support both artwork and artist.
