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.

Centro Cultural Latino de Memphis invites you to their first exhibition of 2015, featuring visual art, as well as musical and dance performances.
This program is part of Crosstown Arts & Centro Cultural’s ongoing Spring/Summer 2015 collaboration, supported by FirstTennessee Foundation | ArtsFirst and ArtsMemphis.
Walking Eyes is a collaborative exhibition by Kong Wee Pang and Jay Crum. Inspired by a month spent in Southeast Asia, each piece was developed through exchanges of ideas and sketches between the two artists. The work is informed by personal memories, hand-drawn maps, tropical flora, and Batik patterns. Many of the pieces have high levels of details with hidden treasures to encourage exploration. The show includes a collection of mixed-media works on paper and fabric, as well as an installation.
Collaborators in life and art, Kong Wee and Jay thoughtfully balance married life, creative exploration and professional growth through ongoing ventures like the playful TaroPop Studio, which they co-founded in 2009.
Please join us for refreshments in the gallery to celebrate the exhibition, and visit the Walking Eyes page for more information.
