Creative Critique
$0-$5 | Every Last Monday of the Month | 6 - 7:30 pm | CREATE Council X Cone Zero
Creative Crits are monthly interactive gatherings where creatives can workshop ideas and get direct feedback or hands-on help on their project, grant, or concept development. Bring a piece of writing, artwork, or a question related to your creative practice or business. All are welcome to bring actual pieces or share digitally (like an ipad or a link that people can access on their devices).
Attendees will be in small groups and guided on the structure for the conversation. A quick rundown - Each person will get 10 minutes to present and receive feedback (2 minutes to present/share the project or question. 4 minutes for clarifying questions from the group and 4 minutes of offers from the group). It's a quick process but sparks a lot of conversation as well as inspiration. And don't worry, we review how it all works at the start of each meetup after brief introductions. Even if you don't have a specific project or question, all are welcome to be a part of the conversation and process!
This Workshop operates on a suggested donation of $5, if you want to attend but can’t pay or prefer cash, use code CREATECRIT for free registration.
