Call for: local artists to participate in critique group and final exhibition
Contracommon invites local emerging artists to apply for a monthly critique group resulting in a collaborative exhibition in late August 2026. Selected artists will meet at Contracommon to share their practices and provide feedback, culminating in new works by each artist. Artists working in any media are encouraged to apply. 3D and media artists are encouraged to apply. Contracommon can provide some pedestals and some media equipment, if needed.
Curated and facilitated by studio member Forrest Aderholt
