ARTISTS LUNCHTIME CRIT: Led by artist Doug Bowen

Sat 29th October 12-2pm // Free to attend // Led by artist Doug Bowen

Calling all artists, art students, graduates alike! Taking place every last Saturday of the month, our lunchtime crits give artists a chance to get feedback on their work from a practicing artist in a supportive and friendly environment.

Simply bring along your work, and we’ll take turns to discuss it and give feedback for each participant.

Participation isn’t mandatory – you’re welcome to simply come and view the works and take part in the discussions. If you’d like to participate in showing your artwork, it’s ideal to send imagery of or a link to the work you wish to show in the crit in advance so we can get it up on our projector! Email us at info@turf-projects.com to submit along with any requirements for AV equipment and/or install instructions.
