WHAT IS CRIT PROGRAMME?
An intensive online 4-week course for artists who want incisive analysis and feedback on their practice in a critically supportive environment. Led by prominent contemporary artists and arts professionals from our award-winning faculty, each cohort is capped at eight participants—ensuring depth of analysis and individual attention. This is a unique opportunity for artists to evolve their practice, gain insight into the Lead Tutor’s critical approach, and form powerful peer bonds that extend beyond the course.
Really enjoyed the course, it has brought renewed focus and confidence to my practice. Caroline Killoury
