ArtTalk offers artists constructive feedback from and camaraderie with peers from across the community. Through its current virtual incarnation, these monthly meetings full of artful discussions can be enjoyed without boundaries of location!

Introduce Yourself
Artists interested in introducing their work to a MMFA curator should submit the following materials for review:
- Artist Statement
- 10–20 digital images or address of your personal website
- Image list, including media, dimensions, and date of works

The Museum cannot accept actual works of art. Should we need any additional information, a curator will contact you.
