ABOUT PEERLABS
Fresh Arts’ PeerLabs are peer-to-peer learning workshops designed to provide artists with a collaborative and small group-style learning experience. Guided by a session facilitator, PeerLab participants work side-by-side to navigate a targeted topic area such as grant reviews, artist statements, bios, and goal setting to achieve common goals through applied activities, open discussion, and peer review.
