From Group Critiques to Grant Opportunities, we support local artists.
We are excited to share with you a major victory – the NYS Artist Opportunity Survey is complete and ready to be shared.
We currently have two options for Artist Development: The Artist Session Series and Artist Career Essentials.
The Artist Session Series is an open platform for artists to gather and discuss their work.
Artist Career Essentials is a free, two part workshop hosted in collaboration with the Community Loan Fund to help artists at all stages of their practice strengthen the business side of their art.
All artists benefit from dialogue with their peers.
Artist Session Series is an open platform for artists to gather and discuss their work.
Artist Session Series is open to all community members at any stage of their creative career.
In this inclusive environment, artists benefit from a cross-generational “crit” experience that welcomes all levels of the conversation.
Artist Session Series is a timed format, typically 10 minutes per artist during a 2-hour session.
Artists are asked to bring one example (or a cohesive body) of recent work to present to the group.
All creative mediums are encouraged including (but not limited to) painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, installation, performance, sound, and digital creations.
Artists are expected to engage with their peers as part of this collaborative gathering.
Artist Session Series will meet monthly, in the Dance Studio.
The sessions take place in the multipurpose studio on the second floor at The Arts Center of the Capital Region @ 265 River Street in Troy, NY.
Each session allows for a maximum of 12 participants at no cost.
The sessions are first-come, first-served through an open sign-up that will be announced a few weeks before each session date. The summer/fall schedule:
