Yesterday our Feedback crit group celebrated its milestone 50th session, meeting to see and discuss the work of Maud Haya-Baviera and Luca M. To date, Feedback has created over 100 opportunities for artists to share their developing work with a supportive and critically-engaged peer group.

Launched in 2019 and now meeting monthly, each crit sees two artists share their work. Asking the presenting artist to remain silent while their work is discussed, the format provides an opportunity to observe how it is received and listen to the exchanges it inspires without background information. Sessions are usually followed by a trip to the pub to reflect on the crit and connect with fellow artists.

We want to thank all the artists who have taken part in the crit group for making these sessions so engaging and valuable. And if you haven’t attended before, we’d love you to join us — drop us a DM or email tyler@yas.art for more information.

“Valuable and unpretentious discussions about our work which have become a really important part of my practice and mental wellbeing… they have allowed me to develop a strong and nurturing art community in Sheffield.”

“The format is really beneficial for artists who want to gain more insight about how their artworks are being read and interpreted by their audience. I thoroughly enjoyed it, felt supported and took away a lot of feedback. A fantastic and invaluable framework of support in Sheffield.”

“It helped me gain confidence in a body of work I had been doubting, and the conversations opened up new perspectives from people I didn’t know [but who] I now consider to be my peers. Conversations about practice are so important, and this is clearly a unique, recognised and much-valued opportunity, for both the artists presenting and those attending.”

“This was a very unique experience… I got exactly what I needed from the crit. The experience of this group is excellent and I can tell that this comes from years of practice. How this group has developed and the way they are able to communicate with the artist and each other is something really special and I really benefitted from their expertise.”

🌟Went to one of the best exhibitions I’ve ever seen 🔥and I’m so happy to have been included. Sharing some excellent artists here but it really is very worth a visit.

🤩🤩🤩Beautifully curated too. A visual feast. 💖
A bit about the exhibition:
‘Common Ground; A Living Landscape’
This collection reacts to the pulse of living landscapes, encouraging us to reflect on how the creative process can bridge the gap between humanity and nature during this time of environmental flux and social change.
Above all, it is about art that is rooted in the physical and sensitive to the spiritual: pieces forged from the earth, inspired by the earth, and held in constant conversation with the earth.

Opening times @kirkudbrightgalleries
Tuesday - Saturday 10-4
and Sundays 11:30-4
Closed on Mondays
31 January - 10 May 2026
3B St Mary St, Kirkcudbright, DG6 4AA

'Red Sunset' (acrylic ink on canvas, 100 x 150cm) by Jo Fleming-Smith @jo.fleming.smith is our Painting of the Week. It will be on display as part of the Open Studios event at Bloc in Sheffield. A number of artists have opened their studios and all visitors are welcome. The event starts at 12 and closes at 6pm.

Jo says, "This painting is part of a recent series of stained works inspired by familiar places and changing light. It started with a spring sunset and draws on landscapes from the North East coast where I was born, along with others from Barreiro, Portugal and Derbyshire, where I now live.

This new body of work builds on my recent residency in Barreiro and considers themes of interconnection across space and time, absence, presence, transformation and potential. My current series is concerned with finding light within the darkness, and holding onto memories of people and places, considering connection in our constantly changing world.

The studio installation (slide 2) is a test piece in progress, a site specific iteration of an installation began on my residency in Portugal called Interconnected. Variable dimensions. (2025) silk, chiffon, LED, handmade glass and porcelain, jersey string."
