1. Reading Room: Critique Is Creative
By Liz Lerman and John Borstel
lizlerman.com/critique-is-creative/
Devised by choreographer Liz Lerman in 1990, Critical Response Process (CRP) is an internationally recognized method for giving and getting feedback on creative works in progress. In this first in-depth study of CRP, Lerman and her long-term collaborator John Borstel describe in detail the four-step process, its origins and principles. The book also includes essays on CRP from a wide range of contributors. With insight, ingenuity, and the occasional provocation, these practitioners shed light on the applications and variations of CRP in the contexts of art, education, and community life. Critique Is Creative examines the challenges we face in an era of reckoning and how the flexible principles of CRP can aid in change-making of various kinds.

4. ATHICA Juried Exhibition: Mood
Deadline: August 31
https://athica.org/updates/2022juried_call/
Prizes, including $500 in Cash and Future Show Award
Pay-What-You-Will Entry Fee
Seeking contemporary art in all media that explores or references MOOD, a term that has taken on a unique connotation on social media through its use thousands of times a day by individuals to express their temporal emotions with imagery, memes, and a ever-changing collage of the media culture that surrounds us. #Mood is happy, sad, reflective, angstful, urgent, chill, colorful, somber, hungry, sleepy, angry, hopeful and more. Mood is also a grammatical construct; for example, three moods of a verb existed in Latin: the indicative mood expressed facts, the imperative mood expressed commands, and the subjunctive mood expressed an element of uncertainty, often a wish, desire, doubt or hope. It is our wish and hope, and therefore, our mood, that you will submit your artwork to the 2022 juried exhibition without delay! Work will be juried by guest juror Liz Andrews, Executive Director of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art.
