About MARN Exchange:

MARN Exchange is a monthly programming event created to empower artists through thoughtful and constructive critique to foster a vibrant community that values growth, collaboration, and artistic excellence. 

Through our critique program, we seek to bridge the gap between aspiring creators and seasoned professionals, encouraging a dynamic exchange of ideas that transcends boundaries and inspires new artistic possibilities. This program is founded on the principles of respect, empathy, and a commitment to diverse perspectives that enrich the creative process. We aim to create an environment where artists feel safe to share their work, knowing that they will receive constructive criticism aimed at nurturing their artistic vision.
