Thank you for participating in the Making Art Work professional development workshop series co-presented by Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, Union Gallery, and Agnes Etherington Art Centre.

Workshops & Round Table Discussions Series
Modern Fuel is committed to the professional development of emerging and mid-career artists. We offer a variety of workshops that cover a multitude of subjects important to anyone seeking to professionalize their artistic practice.
Upcoming Workshops
Peer Critiques
We are excited to announce Peer Critiques Sessions beginning May 25th. They will be virtual sessions over zoom for artists to get feedback on their work from their peers and fellow artists.
Each session will allow 5 artists to show one piece of art and receive feedback.
The 2 hour sessions are free to attend and open to anyone interested. Please note that those who attend and share must keep an open mind and be able to offer/accept constructive criticism.
Round Table Discussions
In the round table discussion series, a local artist, arts administrator, or arts academic brings forward a topic or burning question they want to discuss. They speak for 5 - 10 minutes to introduce the subject, and the rest of the session is an open conversation. Roundtables are non-hierarchical gatherings of artists and creatives to share with one another.
