Semi-Annual Art Critique Show N Tell PLUS Holiday Refreshments
This Guild favorite session asks attendees to bring a new work or one in progress to the meeting for comments, suggestions or praise.
It’s a great way to see what fellow members are working on and what challenges they face and to help you find solutions when you feel your work is in a rut or in need of inspiration.
Don’t worry, all critiques are very thoughtful and kind.

We are excited to introduce to the Guild the work of three new members. We hope to have another showcase soon as we have about 30 new members in 2024. The artists will briefly describe their work and their process. There will also be works on view. It should be a lot of fun!
Victoria Wolf is an abstract artist whose work is loose and compelling with vibrant color background and line and imprints to bring it together. She writes “The emotional polar opposites in life are rich in feeling and expression. The abstract art you'll discover here visually captures these paradoxes, offering a sanctuary to experience, convey, and liberate our emotions.”
