About

CANJE is a 5-session critique program that brings together five Sixty team members to form a cohort that will work collaboratively to establish best practices in cultural criticism while creating a critique environment that puts the artist first. The cohort will engage with five artists within the Peoria community who will each present a body of work to the group, one artist per session. The two public-facing events will be celebrations of the completions of the two iterations of CANJE, where the participating artists will have the opportunity to share their work with the local community and the CANJE cohort will share what they have learned from this experience.
