Artist Peer Critique (APC) meetings are casual gatherings to seek feedback from other artists and creators in a supportive environment. Gatherings follow a simple critique model that is driven by an “essential question” by each artist. The artist asks a question to the group to guide them in providing feedback that meets their creative needs. Questions may be as general or specific as each artist desires — ranging from assistance with creating titles, logistics of installing work, editing statements, and suggesting materials — to larger questions about concept, visual impact, or narrowing down all your many ideas for your next project.

March will be a special invitation to photographers to gather, but creators of all kinds are welcome to come and present. Due to limited time in a virtual critiques, gathering may be limited to 15 attendees.

RSVP required by emailing Faith Williams or joining the Facebook Group. Google Meet link will be sent during the week of the event.

Photographer Anastasia Pottinger was once approached by a 101-year-old woman who wanted her body to be photographed in the nude. She was up for anything Anastasia would ask for with only one condition – the photos should keep her identity a secret. Pottinger was fascinated by the results, recognizing that the photos she had were special. This is how the “Centenarians” project was born. Since then the project has been featured on CNN, The Huffington Post and boredpanda.com among others. On this Zoom call, Anastasia will talk about her Centenarian project, her process and what she is up to now.

Images from Anastasia’s project are included in the exhibition, Black and White in the 21st Century at Curtis Center for the Arts.
