New Crits provides one-on-one studio visits with some of the world’s most visionary artists.
Our online platform is accessible to all artists at every level of their career, creating an inclusive critique experience outside the traditional arts education system.
New Crits was founded in 2022 by Ajay Kurian, an artist, writer, and educator.
Our Mission
New Crits democratizes access to arts education.
A new approach to critique
We offer meaningful studio visits that facilitate healthy growth and sustainability for artists’ practice. We believe that studio visits are meant to build up and constructively challenge rather than tear down.
A community of professionals
Our platform was created by artists, for artists. Our artists have a vested interest in sharing their diverse expertise to support the growth and knowledge of fellow creatives.
Removing key barriers for artistic sustainability
We believe artists anywhere and everywhere should have access to thoughtful and productive studio visits with key experts in their field.
