This critique format is for visual artists who want feedback that is specific, honest, and useful, without the pressure to over-explain their work.
Since 1999, our artist residency program has provided a haven for artists—a space where they have the time, resources, and freedom to turn their dreams into reality. This season, six incoming Artists-in-Residence joining us for Spring 2026 explore textile practices as a powerful language, moving between portraiture, sculpture, installation, and memory-driven image making.
This is more than a talk, it’s an opportunity to meet the artists, see their studios up close, and engage in meaningful dialogue with our cohort.

My work explores portraiture as a form of world-building. Through paintings, sculptures, and objects, I create intimate portraits of people of color and others whose bodies have historically existed outside the bounds of traditional portraiture, representing them as whole, complex individuals.
Wade Mickley is a Virginia-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice integrates drawing, graphic design, and mixed-media assemblage. He works primarily with found objects—especially worn, weathered, and decayed elements—to create dimensional works that investigate memory, natural forms, and emotional resonance.

Hopeton St. Clair Hibbert, Jr. is an Atlanta-based multidisciplinary artist whose work examines how Black memory persists through materials shaped by labor, extraction, and time. His practice is grounded in the belief that history is embedded in ordinary materials that have been worked, weathered, and overlooked.
