SECOND STREET CRITIQUE

Free community critiques led by top curators, artists, and arts professionals.

Beginning in September of 2019, Second Street Gallery hosted monthly lunchtime critiques for local artists seeking productive feedback on their work. Four artists per session were given ten minutes to present their latest work, followed by a group discussion with the critique leader and fellow artists. The Second Street Critique program is currently paused out of concern for the spread of COVID-19, but we plan to offer it again soon next season.
