  • Loop Art Critique Explanation:
    Loop Art Critique (LAC) is a program that offers a residency and public showcase for artists. Applicants respond to an Open Call and are selected by guest jurors without revealing their identities, as no names, biographical information or artist statements are required—only the artwork is reviewed. Because LAC operates within a virtual space, most artwork submissions are digital. However, physical artworks can be submitted with the understanding that they will be viewed as digital representations.

    Profit Status: LAC is a non-commercial venture initiated by Ariel Baron-Robbins, sustained through personal funding and a partnership with The MUD Foundation, a non-profit focused on Art & Technology located in Miami, FL USA. 

    Anonymity: LAC believes that artists have a right to remain anonymous throughout the submission and critique process in order to focus on their artwork. It is optional. 


    Location/Platform: LAC is hosted on Onland, a spatial internet environment created by the The MUD Foundation. It does not have corporate affiliations.

    Educational Aspect: LAC is not formally educational but includes moderated critiques, offering artists valuable feedback from their peers. A Discord server is utilized to archive links, feedback and faciliate communication.
