The Value of Critique Groups for Artists with Patricia Miranda (#61) - a podcast by Alyson Stanfield

from 2020-09-24T07:00

:: ::

Just a mention of the word critique can bring back painful memories for some artists. Or downright fear from those who have never participated in a professional critique.

Artists who have been part of formal and ongoing critique groups find them invaluable to their creative development.

In the latest episode of the podcast, I talk with Patricia Miranda, founder of The Crit Lab. She's been leading 7 separate critique groups in 3 states and has recently taken them online.

We discussed:

  • Why artists need critical feedback and at one point they should ask for it.

  • The format of a day-long critique session.

  • Patricia's contention that art is a verb, not an object.

  • Artists would benefit from thinking about engagement more than intent.

This is a deep and philosophical discussion that is different from my other episodes. I encourage you to listen more than once.
