The Guild Underground is a critique space that meets once a month to grow the art community and enco The Guild Underground is a basement critique space.
We're working on building our community up and since we can offer space, albeit not much, we'd like to do some small critique trial runs and see how it goes. Once a month, on a mutually convenient date (first sunday of every month for example) we will set up a group of 5-10 members to bring in 1 piece each. Light refreshments will be provided in addition to BYOB. The event will last 3 hours. Hosted by Daniel Lloyd-Miller and Shawn Kelley

What inspired Cy Twombly? Between 1977 and 1978, the artist created a “painting in ten parts” based on Homer’s ‘Iliad.’ In ‘Fifty Days at Iliam,’ Twombly reinterprets the iconic narrative using his trademark scribbles, random brushstrokes, numbers, and letters.

“I would like my pictures to look as if a human being had passed between them, like a snail leaving its trail of the human presence... as a snail leaves its slime.”
