Course Description
CRIT PROGRAMME is an intensive 4-week course for artists who want to receive incisive analysis and feedback on their practice in a critically supportive online environment. Led by prominent contemporary artists drawn from our award-winning Faculty, each cohort is capped at eight participants—ensuring depth of analysis and individual attention. The programme offers artists a unique opportunity to evolve their practice, gain insight into the Lead Artist’s critical approach, and form powerful peer bonds that extend beyond the course. Open to all disciplines and artists at any stage of their career, CRIT PROGRAMME is designed to be revisited — artists are encouraged to return for future cycles with different tutors, or with new work.
“Overall an enriching and dynamic course to continue our formation and make contact with people from the artworld” José Carlos Naranjo
