Council Sponsored Workshop Spaces

A gap in critical dialogue in the arts has long been identified as an issue on PEI. The PEICA is sponsoring three spaces for Ray Cronin's workshop "Writing Critically: A workshop with Ray Cronin" (description below) this Thursday, September 29th from 7 - 9 PM. If you are interested in attending, at no cost to you, please write to Darrin White, Executive Director, at dwhite@peica.ca.

We'll be filling these spots on a first come, first serve basis.

Writing Critically: A workshop with Ray Cronin

Join Ray Cronin, of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, for a practical, hands-on, interactive workshop on the art of critique. Writing critically, specifically in the areas of exhibition reviews, will be the focus of this workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to practice writing a critical review by exploring the exhibitions on view at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery. This workshop will employ peer review and group discussion to facilitate learning. Participants will build their skills in writing critical reviews, and exploring description, content, and audience impact.
