About this event
Speedy Crits is an artist development initiative created by Helen Kilby Nelson and supported by Coventry Artspace. The next series of sessions begin on 16 February 2022 and runs until 18 May 2022.
Each speedy crit session takes 45 mins - 1 hour and consists of a 5 minute presentation from an artist of current work in progress. This is followed by a discussion between the artist and the industry mentor. Participants are then invited ask questions and/or join the discussion if they wish. It's a great way to find out more about an artist's work and gain an insight into career development in the art world.
Industry mentors for 2021/22 include John Yeadon - experienced artist and founder of the Coventry-Dresden Arts Exchange; Jane Ball - Assistant Professor at Coventry University School of Art & Design; Ryan Hughes - Founder & Artistic Director of Coventry Biennial of Contemporary Art; Sarah Shalgosky - Curator at The Mead Gallery; Shannon Bono - Artist and Associate Lecturer CSM, Alice Swatton - Curator; Nicola Richardson - Chair of Coventry Artspace, Co-Director of Vortex Creates and Co-curator of 'Be Yourself, Everybody Else is Taken at Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
In advance of each session, the artist presenting at the session will make available either an online folder of their work, a PDF, or links to an online portfolio (eg their website or Instagram), so that audience members can familiarise themselves with the work and participate in the discussion if they wish to.
