It's that time of the month! First Wednesday open critique!

This Wednesday and every first Wednesday of the month, artists are welcome to bring 1-2 pieces of work that they would like to be critiqued. We will start with one each and then, if there's time, we will move on to everyone's second.

We will be back at Shapot Art Studio and Gallery this month located at 2318 NE 8th Rd, Ocala, FL 34470

These critiques are both friendly and constructive. We do not shoot anyone down. Instead, we build each other up by offering advice and opinions about that one piece of art that you've been stuck on, struggling with, or unsure if it's finished. Everyone critiques your work, and you critique everyone else's work.

This event is free to community artists of all ages and mediums. Do you have a drawing, painting, photograph, sculpture, film, dance, poem, or song that you'd like to share? Come on out!

*Please try to arrive on time or as close to 6PM as possible to minimize distractions.

**If your art requires any additional tools (example: A projector or computer to show your digital art) please let me know ahead of time so that I can properly prepare.

Thanks!
