Amici Crit Club 7 May

Amici Crit Club is a new addition to our artist development and support programme at Amici Studio.

Inspired by the group critique sessions of art school, these are small, focused gatherings where artists are invited to share works in progress, early ideas, or bring a subject for discussion. The sessions are designed as a space for open conversation, where participants can receive thoughtful, constructive feedback from a small group of peers.

Each session is led by George Mingozzi-Marsh, drawing on over 15 years of experience working with artists at all stages of their careers through curating and running galleries.

Group sizes are intentionally limited to allow for meaningful discussion. Discourse will be open, honest and supportive, with contributions from both George and the artists present. Our hope is that these sessions will help foster a local peer network — a group of artists who can continue to support, challenge and develop one another beyond the sessions themselves, extending Amici’s wider commitment to collaboration and community.

We will aim to run one daytime and one evening session each month to accommodate different schedules.

Upcoming sessions:
Tuesday 28 April, 10am–12pm
Thursday 7 May, 7–9pm

Sessions run for approximately 2 hours.

These are our first sessions, and we see them as an opportunity to shape what Crit Club becomes. The artists who join these early sessions will play an important role in defining how they develop going forward.

Tickets:
£10 standard
£20 Pay It Forward (includes one ticket for you and one assigned to someone on a lower income)
£0 concession (limited availability for those unwaged or on a low income, supported by the Pay It Forward scheme)

Spaces are limited.

How it works for Galleries

Amici brings together galleries from different parts of the world, encouraging them to collaborate, share resources, and expand their reach. Through shared exhibitions hosted online and promoted via Amici.Art, galleries can connect with a global audience, enabling clients to browse and purchase artworks directly.

No Sign-up Fees
Galleries only pay a £50 administration fee once a Host and Visitor gallery are successfully paired.

Shared Risk and Profit
Operating costs and profits are shared between Host and Visiting galleries, with Amici taking a 5% commission from each gallery on sales made through the platform only.

Benefits for All Participants

  • Host Gallery: Reduce operating costs, diversify programming, and gain access to new, international audiences.
  • Visiting Gallery: Showcase your artists globally while leveraging the infrastructure of local galleries, avoiding the hectic, costly art fair experience.

Inclusivity and Fair Practice
Amici is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity, with all galleries adhering to our Code of Conduct.

What We Provide

  • Access to a global network of galleries
  • Tools for event promotion and ticketing
  • Online gallery
  • Printed and digital sales and promotion assets
  • Discounts on services like insurance, shipping, and photography

Ready to Collaborate?
Your gallery should represent artists and maintain a regular exhibition programme in a permanent space to participate. 

Through collaboration, Amici fosters a supportive environment where galleries thrive together by building meaningful connections and expanding their influence.

    About Amici Studio

    Amici Studio is a multi-use creative space based in Hastings, East Sussex. Opening in January 2026 at 12 Claremont, next to Hastings Library, the Studio delivers a public programme of exhibitions, events and learning activity for artists, creative practitioners and local communities across Hastings, St Leonards and the wider East Sussex coast.

    Exhibitions

    The programme is structured around six two-month blocks across the year, each anchored by a core exhibition. These exhibitions form the backbone of Amici Studio’s activity and are accompanied by a wider layer of public-facing events, discussions and artist-led activity.

    Events and Public Programme

    Alongside exhibitions, Amici Studio hosts talks, performances, Salon Dinners and a monthly talks programme launching in spring 2026. These events create opportunities for conversation, exchange and shared experience around contemporary practice.

    Artist Development

    Amici Studio supports artist development through mentoring, portfolio conversations and practical workshops. These activities are designed to reduce barriers to participation, particularly for young people, early-career practitioners, disabled people and carers, and those facing financial or social obstacles to accessing arts and culture.

    In Progress

    When needed, the studio will host short-term artist In Progress occupations, offering space for live making, experimentation and exchange. These projects are process-led and provide opportunities for artists and audiences to engage with work in development.

    Community and Collaboration

    Amici Studio works closely with local partners and organisations, including Project Art Works, who are based in the same building. Collaboration and shared activity are central to the Studio’s approach, supporting connections across practices and communities.
