This week, Painter and NYC Crit Club director, Catherine Haggarty, joined me to talk about that old enigma wrapped in a riddle: How to Host a Studio Visit. She gave tons of helpful tips for managing in-person visits, zoom visits AND how to guard against the emotional fallout that can come after a bad one. It's a gold mine!  Also, Catherine gave a teaser for the upcoming courses on offer at NYC Crit Club this Fall. Some great instructors are on tap, along with some brand new exciting classes like "The MFA: Expectations and Preparation" and a Virtual Residency with Mira Schor, to name just two. Psst: Since recording this, I am also excited to announce I'll be joining Sharmistha Ray's class on writing to talk all things Podcasting!
