Open Crit

430 N. Cleveland
Second Tuesday of Each Month
Artist Setup: 5 – 6 pm / Critique & Discussion: 6 – 8 pm

Crosstown Arts’ Open Crit series, organized in partnership with ArtsMemphis, is a monthly critique event where visual artists are invited to bring new and/or in-progress studio work for critical feedback and group discussion particular to each artist’s practice. The series will take place at Crosstown Arts exhibition space at 430 N. Cleveland.

A dedicated facilitator with experience in a group critique setting will guide discussion for each critique event, which will include up to 4 artists’ work, with 15-25 minutes devoted to the work of each.

All visual artists and anyone interested in joining the discussion are welcome to participate regardless of their level of expertise, prior professional art experience or background/education in fine art. Participation is free and open to the public. Input during the critiques from everyone in attendance is welcomed and encouraged.

No formal preparation is necessary for participating artists, who will have an opportunity to introduce and contextualize their work on view at the beginning of each critique. Participating artists are only asked to be open to (and interested in) considering reactions to their work by the group, which will always be done in a supportive, constructive and casual environment, but could at the same time be challenging.

To participate, artists can send the following info via email to Brittney Bullock (brittney@ crosstownarts.org) with the subject line “Open Crit.” Submissions will be accepted and scheduled based on availability. There is no submission fee.

  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • General description of the work to be discussed (i.e. “abstract paintings” or “video art”) & sizes of works and/or media types

Artists are asked to bring no more than 8 individual pieces (in any medium). Maximum run time for time-based work(s) is 10 minutes.

Participating artists are encouraged to invite friends, peers and colleagues to the open crits, both to see their work in progress and to give constructive feedback.

Organized by Crosstown Arts in partnership with ArtsMemphis ArtsAccelerator.

Public/Art/ists Part I

Crosstown Arts, the UrbanArt Commission and ArtsMemphis are partnering to present a multi-venue exhibition and programming series throughout 2015 to acknowledge public art makers in Memphis.

The series will collectively recognize and share the work of artists who have participated in Memphis’ public art projects and initiatives, including the studio work (non-public art projects) of these artists, as well as insight into their processes and involvement in creating public art projects from conception to completion.  The exhibition and ongoing events of Public/Art/ists not only act as a connection point to these artists, but also reveal the multiple facets of these artists’ practices in the community.

Crosstown Arts will host part I of Public/Art/ists, sharing the studio work of over 40 artists who have made contributions to Memphis’ urban landscape:

Beth Edwards, Cat Pena, Greely Myatt, Anne J. Froning, Jill Wissmiller, Jonathan Auger, Kiersten Williams, Pinkney Herbert, Jamond Bullock, Jeannie Tomlinson Saltmarsh, Carol Deforest, Tootsie Bell, Sean Murphy, Richard Lou, Jeane Umbreit, Jay Crum, Jason Miller, Robin Salant, Tad Lauritzen Wright, Elisha Gold, Anne Davey, Louis Tucker, Robert Burns, Kia Lola, Anthony Lee, Mary Long, Justin Bowles, Bob X, Annabelle Meacham, Penny Dodds, Susan Maakestad, Suzy Hendrix, April Pierce, Stephanie Cosby, Yvonne Bobo, Meredith Olinger, Eszter Sziksz, Jamin Carter, Vitus Shell, Phyllis Boger, Kristi Duckworth, Pam Cobb, Brandon Marshall, Lea Holland, Whitney Kerr, Cedar Lorca Nordbye, Yancy Villa-Calvo & Erica Qualy

Additional information about future exhibitions and programs of Public/Art/ists happening at other venues is forthcoming.
