AZ ArtWorker Workshop with Liz Lerman
Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process: Introductory workshop
With an introduction by Julia Akerly and Allyson Yoder of [nueBOX]
Join Macarthur “Genius Grant” recipient Liz Lerman for an introductory workshop on her Critical Response Process (CRP), a facilitated structure for giving and getting feedback on artistic works in progress. Grounded in principles of meaning, inquiry, and dialogue, it is designed to leave the maker eager and motivated to get back to work on the project under consideration. This workshop will introduce the four steps of CRP and explore the values that support useful critique through conversation, participation, and reflection.
Participants in this introductory workshop will have priority registration privileges for a one-day CRP intensive presented by [nueBOX] in November.
Cost: $10
Workshop size is limited to 30 participants.
