The Visiting Critic Program “Gallery Edition” offers in-depth feedback, exposure and connections with 4 respected art world professionals. Class is led online via Zoom by Meghan Gordon, Director of OCHI Projects, in company with a strong group of artists from around the country.
Each Visiting Critic will introduce themselves with a brief presentation and Q+A.
