Crooked Tree- Traverse City Critique Night is a supportive, peer-driven critique group designed for artists to present works in progress or conceptual ideas in a safe, positive environment. Our goal is to foster ongoing artistic growth through constructive feedback, professional dialogue, and collaborative problem-solving.
Artists are encouraged to share their creative challenges and aspirations while receiving thoughtful input from fellow artists. Each session will focus on exploring design elements and principles, addressing obstacles, and suggesting potential approaches to help artists achieve their desired outcomes.
Artists are expected to bring one piece of artwork in progress to share. If you need an easel please RSVP with brian@crookedtree.org
Registration not required. We encourage RSVPing (at the link above) so that CTAC staff can set up the space appropriately.
Key Objectives:
-
Provide a welcoming space for artists to refine their work and ideas
-
Encourage professional critique and dialogue grounded in design fundamentals
-
Support artists in overcoming creative challenges
-
Foster community and peer-to-peer learning
