Critique Spaces

Need a space to hold a critique? At Emily Carr University, many studio courses include a critique component. Students present their work in a dedicated space and receive feedback from instructors and peers. Booking a critique space helps ensure that your work is displayed professionally and meets your course requirements.

Sometimes, your instructor will book the space for you; other times, it is your responsibility to secure it. Critique spaces are not open to the public and must be booked through the Scheduling Office, not the Exhibitions Office.

Faculty looking to book a critique space? Please submit a space booking ticket.

Five people view an artwork on a wall. The wall is located along a stairwell. The camera is at the top of the stairs; we are looking down at the people.

How to Book a Critique Space

  1. Talk to your instructor about the scope of your installation. Critiques often occur in classrooms, but your instructor may have already booked additional space. Check out the Exhibition + Critique Spaces map.
  2. If you need a dedicated critique space, submit a space booking ticket.
  3. Once your booking is confirmed, the Scheduling Office will notify you and your instructor.
