SUMMARY:PRINCETON CRIT | Small Group Critique
DESCRIPTION:Meet area artists\, receive peer-to-peer feedback\, and share creative resources. \nPrinceton Crit provides a monthly space for artists to come together to share and discuss their creative practice. Together\, we’ll foster an atmosphere of constructive peer-to-peer criticism\, free of judgment and open to all. \nWe encourage a diversity of voices\, mediums\, artistic skills\, and projects in varying stages of completion. It is our core belief that every artist has something to offer\, regardless of experience level or background. \nHow it works: \n\nCrits are held monthly on every last Tuesday of the month in the Arts Council of Princeton’s Solley Theater.\nParticipants may arrive as early as 6pm to set up their work. The crit will begin at 6:30.\nEach session is limited to 10 participants to allow sufficient time for each artist to present their work for feedback.\nEach artist will receive a 10-minute critique of their work. Artists may bring up to three pieces for discussion\, no exception.\nThe Arts Council will provide easels for the display of your work. Pedestals may be made available — kindly let us know in the registration form if you’re displaying 3D work.\nA $10 registration fee helps cover costs of running this resource for area artists.\n\nPrinceton Crit policies: \n\nArtists must be at least 18 years of age.\nWhen critiquing\, be mindful of listening without interrupting. When offering constructive feedback\, refrain from using harsh\, rude\, or disrespectful language. Be aware of the 10-minute time limit and allow others to speak if you have already provided feedback.\nWhen presenting\, be open to constructive feedback on your work and respectful of fellow artists’ work.\nSilence your phone for the duration of the crit session. If you need to take a call\, please step outside the crit room.\nThe Arts Council of Princeton reserves the right to use images of participants and/or their work for promotional purposes on its website\, Instagram\, Facebook and email.\n\nCrit facilitator:\n\nCarey Gates is a talented educator and artist with over twenty years of experience teaching art and art history.

He is a practicing artist who has participated in numerous regional and national exhibitions. He has taught art\, art criticism and art history for over twenty.

SUMMARY:Art for Change
DESCRIPTION:Copyright Terrance Cummings. All Rights Reserved. Artwork Title: Stronger Together.\n \nArt for ChangeBy artist Terrance CummingsOn view: Jan 10 – Feb 7Opening: Sat\, Jan 10 | 3-5pm\nExhibition Statement:I have faith in the ability of art to initiate contemplation\, foster discussions\, and drive change. Through my art\, I delve into profound themes inspired by human emotions\, societal intricacies\, ingrained beliefs\, and economic marginalization. While my work often addresses topics such as race and class\, the underlying essence always revolves around our shared humanity. Art has the power to shape society and challenge the status quo. By creating work that challenges perceptions and encourages introspection\, I hope to contribute to a larger cultural conversation about our relationship with each other. I believe that art has the power to bring people together and foster a sense of community\, and I strive to create work that reflects this belief. \nThe following books will be available for purchase at the Arts Council throughout the duration of the exhibition: \n\nWe Shall Overcome: A Song That Changed the WorldBy Stuart Stotts\, Artwork by Terrance Cummings. 2010.History of the song from the Civil Rights Movement.\nIn Search of Color Everywhere: A Collection of African-American PoetryBy Ethelbert Miller\, Artwork by Terrance Cummings. 1996A collection of African-American poems\, with works by Langston Hughes\, Maya Angelou\, Paul Laurence Dunbar\nToo Hot to Cool DownBy Terrance Cummings\, 1996From the great blues singers and jazz artists of all times this highly charged\, sometimes naughty\, anthology of lyrics and illustrations by Terrance Cummings\, Here\, Cummings has gathered together 32 wonderful lyrics from such greats as B.B. King\, Ma Rainey\, Sarah Vaughn\, Billie Holiday\, Duke Ellington and many others.\n\nArtist Bio:Terrance Cummings is a visual artist born in Birmingham\, Alabama\, whose early life in a working-class household continues to shape his artistic vision. Memories of his aunt gathering coal from railroad tracks to heat their home reflect the resilience and ingenuity that inform his work. After relocating to New York City\, Cummings graduated from the High School of Music and Art and earned his BFA from Parsons School of Design. His artwork has since been featured in solo exhibitions\, collected by private collectors\, and included in projects within the publishing industry. Cummings’s practice centers on uplifting portrayals of marginalized communities\, challenging stereotypes through layered color\, pattern\, and texture. His work aims to spark dialogue\, deepen understanding\, and create space for empowerment and reflection. To learn more about the artist\, visit his website or instagram.
