+ BIO
AnnaVittoria Pickett is a visual artist, educator, and arts nonprofit professional, currently serving as the Director of Exhibitions at Oklahoma Contemporary in Oklahoma City.

Participating Artist
+ BIO
Taylor Caraway is a guy who likes to make things. Sometimes that means shaping clay, sometimes melting silver, sometimes pointing a camera at the stars. He works in whatever medium feels interesting that day — ceramic sculpture, silversmithing, lost wax casting, or astrophotography. He makes things because creating feels like a way to stay awake — a small act of proof that awareness is still alive and moving around inside us. | Art Crit Night supports and strengthens the work of every artist that participates, and promotes critical dialogue among the community members that attend. All participants must be open to the critique process. The process will include presenting your work, receiving feedback from the curator framed in a spirit of positivity and desire to help you progress in your practice, and receiving comments from the audience as these events will be open to the art community in an effort to increase critical dialogue. |
