The Orlando Arts Critique run by Parker Sketch is a monthly meeting where artists and people interested in participating in the local art scene (curators, gallery owners, event coordinators, art appreciators, and anyone else interested in art) gather and talk about art.
It is free and friendly.
The format is that there is an open invitation to participate as a “showing” artist. There is enough time to talk about approximately 15 artist’s work at each session. It is encouraged that the art is very recent, or is relevant to the artist’s current work.
The artists gather as a group of peers, regardless of age, medium, experience, or art genre. There is usually space for an additional 15 participants that aren’t showing art. So there is usually about 20 to 40 people attending this event and talking about all the art.
The primary goal is to have meaningful, positive, and helpful discussions about what the artists are working on. Networking, socializing, and learning about art opportunities in Central Florida is encouraged. The goal is to elevate everyone’s productivity and exposure through helping each other.
Central Florida is exploding with a vibrant art scene. There are so many people doing amazing art that often the people in the art community aren’t aware of what is happening around town. Any artist of art appreciator is always invited come and attend one of the sessions. The Facebook event invitation is usually posted about 2 weeks before the event, and registration through the Facebook invitation is mandatory to make sure that we have enough time and space to respect all of the participants. Join the Orlando Art Critique Facebook Group to stay up to date. The last critique was August 5, 2019.
