MAY 12 ART CRIT: SOCIAL COMMENTARY
EXCLUSIVE FOR CURRENT MEMBERS ONLY!
Looking for some honest, constructive feedback on your artwork?
Have a work-in-progress that could use some direction?
Want to level-up the way you talk about art?
Join professional guest reviewer Christine Tien Wang, Chair of the Graduate Fine Arts Program at CCA and Associate Professor of the Painting and Drawing Program, and a group of your peers for NCWCA's Art Crit on May 12 at 7pm following the Chapter Meeting.
The theme of this crit is Social Commentary. If you have a piece that deals with society's cultural, political, or economic issues, sign up to have it reviewed. Only one work from 6 artists will be reviewed. If more than 6 artists sign up to participate, we'll have a lottery to choose names.
Unlike NCWCA's Art Share, in this Art Crit group you're not the one talking about your work. Instead, you submit one artwork along with a short sentence of what you'd like discussed. Our guest reviewer (and your fellow artists via Zoom comments) will offer constructive criticism - neither judgment nor unsupported praise.
Please email theresa[at]ncwca.org before May 4th to express your interest to have your work reviewed.
If you're not one of the artists being reviewed this time around, there's still so much that you can learn by attending and participating! Find out how the pros think and talk about art, practice your own critiquing skills, and perhaps gain some insight into your own work as well!

MAY 15 ELIZABETH ADDISON "FLOW AND ROOT" CURATORIAL TOUR AT THE O'HANLON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
|
|
Flow & Root reflects my ongoing exploration of freshwater systems as living beings—dynamic, threatened, and enduring—with a collection of dimensional, hybrid prints and sculpture. Most of these works are inspired by the Smith River and her unique presence. Visually expressed in her surface riffles and patterns, Flow & Root’s philosophical underpinning embraces the spiritual practice Always, Already—you are already, and always have been, in the state you seek, and are already connected to everything.
“To imagine that a river is alive causes water to glitter differently. New possibilities of encounter emerge — and loneliness retreats a step or two. You find yourself falling in love outward…”
