The Art Gallery of Guelph is partnering with Necessary Arts and Otherwise Studios to guest host their June Crit Night. Facilitated by local artist Paige Bromby, these monthly group critiques provide valuable feedback on your artwork, a friendly safe environment to share ideas, and an opportunity to connect with local artists in your community!

Never participated in a critique before? No problem! Paige, Chanel DesRoches, and Ahmri Vandeborne will be there every step of the way to ensure the process is fun, kind, and inspiring. Artists of any medium may either sign up to present an in-progress artwork for feedback or join to chat about the work presented. Please indicate on your registration whether you’ll be bringing art or just coming to participate in discussion. This is a seated program. All are welcome and light refreshments will be provided.

Paige Bromby

Paige Bromby is a Guelph-based artist and community animator. Working primarily in painting and drawing, Bromby explores landscape painting in the age of digital media, creating work that foregrounds the recording, translation, and filtering of the landscape through both artist and technology. Working from her own photographs, Bromby breaks down her images through digital manipulations and layered compositions to create landscape paintings that are a tangle of organic shapes and perspectives.
