Critique Groups Aren’t Born—They’re Made

What does it take to make a strong critique group community? The fun begins with showing up and answering six simple questions. The first five set the tone for respectful and open dialogue, but the sixth question raises the bar for what each member can give and gain through actionable feedback. Learn all about how to create, nurture and grow your critique group watching our March meeting replay.
