The Critique Program is a 10-month postgraduate art and critical theory program based in Northern California's Bay Area. As an independent, community-based alternative to advanced art education, The Critique Program provides a platform for extended dialogue, feedback and exposure. The program is geared towards emerging artists, architects and theorists who wish to push their work within a community committed to critical art and critical reflection. Through weekly seminars, reading groups and studio visits with local and international curators, artists and theorists, the program aims to help each participant develop a sustainable practice and build a solid, far-reaching network of support.
