Join a small group of interdisciplinary writers and artists to practice the connections we seek when art meets its audience.
About this Event

From idea generation to final draft, we all want to know that our work holds meaning for others. Join a small group of writers and artists to practice the connections we seek when art meets its audience.

Together we will explore several versions of Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process, a maker-centered method to bring out your best work through asking questions and looking deeply at what we create.

Feedback doesn’t have to be hollow, brutal, or boring. You will leave your feedback sessions wanting to rush back to your studio, computer, or notebook, and keep making.

Note: This feedback group is for works in progress only.

SESSION DATES (6:00-8:30 pm CST):

August 20

August 27

You can register for both sessions or just one, it's up to you.

For the very best feedback, there are a limited number of spots in this feedback group cohort (3 presenters only per session--but anyone can join to be a responder)

Leah Mayers is a book & paper artist and educator based in Evanston, IL. She makes star maps for urban dwellers, memento mori, and writes flash creative non-fiction. She is a former gallerist, CPS teacher, and instructor at Columbia College Chicago specializing in arts-integrated curriculum design. Leah is a certified practitioner of Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process method.
