Crit: Caragh Thuring and Peer Sessions

26 Mar 2024 7-9pm

Overview

Chisenhale Alumn Caragh Thuring joins Peer Sessions (artists Kate Pickering and Charlotte Warne Thomas), inviting you to share work-in-progress.

Chisenhale Crits brings artists and members of the public into the gallery to share their own artwork in the company of peers and established artists from the Chisenhale Gallery network.

The crits are facilitated by Peer Sessions (artists Kate Pickering and Charlotte Warne Thomas). For our next event Caragh Thuring will join us as a guest contributor.

Two artists will share recent work as part of the crit. If you are an artist who would like to present new work or work in progress for discussion by the group, reserve a place as above and get in touch with Seth via email ([email protected]).

We are especially keen to present the work of artists who are currently outside of formal education, for whom the opportunity to have peers critique their work is less common than those presently studying on undergraduate or postgraduate courses.
