Artists tend to create their art in solitude, then show their work to non-artists or the public for feed back. Most often the feedback is based on personal taste or a bias towards a certain type of art. Do you ever long for constructive feedback, the kind that helps you dig deep and find what you need to keep your work fresh and evolving? The kind that your only your fellow artists, your peers, can bring? Me too! That's why I started Juxtapose, for the fellowship, support and critical feedback t …
