Please note: booking closes at midnight on Saturday 11 October 2025. This event is available for AGITATE Hero, Maker and Mixer members only.

AGITATE AUTUMN PIN-UP APPROACHING! If you need a deadline to take your work-in-progress to the next stage, here's a good one! We will hear from a maximum of six image-makers (first come first served, please book the relevant ticket) who will pin up their work and give a short presentation on their project and their plans for its further development/public presentation.

Feedback from attending members will be offered either verbally or via post-it note, and there will be time with each participants' work to ask and answer questions about the project. The AGITATE team will be on hand to facilitate discussion if needed. There will be plenty of opportunity to also approach the presenting artists' individually for further conversation.

What is 'crit'? //

Crit is short for 'critique'. This is usually offered as constructive feedback and is beneficial in project development as a variety of perspectives can be helpful when evaluating whether your message or meaning is successfully being communicated. It can be easy to get 'tunnel vision' when working independently on something for lengthy periods of time and this is a good opportunity to hear from others.

In this way, crit is best suited for project work which is intended for public display, although personal projects are also welcome if you think external input would be useful. Please note that all critique is subjective and nobody's opinion is 'right' or 'wrong' - it is up to each person presenting to identify what from the session is helpful.

Ticketing //

This is a ticketed event with limited capacity and you must book in order to attend. Tickets are free to all HERO, MAKER and MIXER tiers of membership. Please note that due to building protocol we need to send names on 1-week in advance - therefore BOOKING CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT ON SATURDAY 11 OCTOBER.

Practicalities //

We ask that anyone participating in presenting work arrives 10-20 minutes early in order to install their work - walls, pins, masking tape, and blu-tack are provided and there are power points available for digital presentation. There is a maximum of 20-minutes prescribed to each project if at full presenter capacity.

Accessibility //

The crit will be seated in our shared studio space at Saltire Court, 20 Castle Terrace. Please arrive at reception for 10AM where one of the AGITATE team will meet you. The venue is wheelchair accessible and we will be meeting on the second floor, accessible via stairs or lift. There is an accessible toilet and plenty of quiet breakout space if needed.

This event is planned during the weekend, in the morning. The following Members' Pin-Up (date TBC) will be during the weekend, in the evening. We will continue to vary the event times to try and ensure that as many schedules as possible are catered for. If for whatever reason you are unable to attend at these times please do get in touch and we will do the best we can to cater to everyone.
