Art making is a solitary, individual activity. Artists create alone and in isolation, often without input nor suggestion. But in gathering together in critique meetings artists can show and share their work with other artists to get - and to give - input and insight; as a way to learn, grow, develop and evolve in one's work. Artists can explore the issues and problems in their art work, engaging each other in open discussion of individual artistic goals. Artists can help each other develop, understand and explore each others'visions. And in this coming together, perhaps, begin in the grassroots building of personal artistic community.

San Francisco mixed media artist, James Walsh will facilitate but you will be required to participate in an informal, and kind mind format. This is not an art class or demonstration, it is for artists who: Want feedback on a new series? Looking for new materials? Is the piece done yet? Pricing? Framing ideas/presentation?

Please bring 1-3 pieces of your 'work in progress' OR finished works to share. We will together view and discuss each other's work in turn.
