From Group Critiques to Grant Opportunities, we support local artists.
The Critical Forum program is an intensive professional development opportunity for emerging and mid-career artists.
Each year, a maximum of twelve participants are chosen for this program through an open-call application process (details will be announced in February 2024). The cohort meets monthly over 6 months at The Arts Center in Troy, NY. These focused group critiques are led by the Critical Forum Program Director plus invited colleagues from the field, including arts professionals from the Hudson Valley region and beyond.
The Critical Forum program is offered by The Arts Center in conjunction with funding from the Visual Arts program at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and Key Bank.
