What we’re about
Creative Artists of Connecticut
This group is dedicated to creating open art critiques facilitated by international visual artist and composer, G. "EDGAR" Griffin.
WHO WE ARE: Artists in all genres who seek feedback on their work.
HOW WE WORK: Bring your artwork which you have made and please pose questions if you want us to give feedback... Shorter critiques are ok if needed.
WHAT YOU MUST EXPECT: A safe space with both care and tolerance towards all participants – respectful discussion promoted towards the works presented – Serious yet fun conversation over great food. Hopefully, friendships and alliances can be made.
MINDSET FOR TALKING WITH US: Artwork is appreciated. Promotion of bullying, hate, violence, and anything which evokes emotional trauma will be rejected. Political art/dialogue regardless of issue or side will be rejected because too many people are fighting over that stuff. IF you delight in upsetting people, this group is not for you, and we won't let you come back anymore! – All honest and respectful opinions are valuable. Creative criticism is welcome. Bullying and hate speech will be rejected – Each voice is listened to – Everybody’s participation is appreciated.
