This bonus episode is a promotion for NYC Crit Club's "The Canopy Program" 2025, a year-long mentorship community for artists. Founder and artist, Catherine Haggarty, stopped by the pod to tell me more about what the program offers, who it's for, and which artists she has on deck to lead the cohorts next year.

Applications for The Canopy Program are open Monday, December 9th - January 12, 2025

The Canopy Program is a year-long intimate mentorship program, providing artists access to work exclusively with a Faculty Mentor and a Cohort of 10 artists for three consecutive semesters (Spring, Summer + Fall 2025).

Together, as a Cohort, artists will meet regularly for critiques, discussions, artist talks, and resource-building in professional practices, workshops, and lectures! Each Cohort features an esteemed roster of invited Guest Speakers + Visiting Artists/Critics/Gallerists.
