Join artists for monthly Open Critique—one of Creative Alliance’s longest-running programs! This is an opportunity to share artwork in progress, engage with local artists, and build community. This event is free for members, and this month is hosted by artist Schroeder Cherry! Each session is an open forum to show 1-2 examples of your artwork and receive feedback from experienced artists from varying mediums and backgrounds. Please send digital examples of work 48 hours before the event day to visualarts@creativealliance.org.
