1. The Creative HotSeat - An Online Art Critique Community

Are you looking for a place to show your art and engage in conversation about it? Do you wish you knew of a place where you could go to get positive, constructive feedback about your art? Maybe you're a professional artist who would like to help and encourage other artists by providing them with invaluable advice and answers based upon your many years of experience.

There has even been an artist from Spain who has posted - very exciting to see!


Since the site is still in the very early stages, the importance of getting the word out there is high on Mimi's list. Creative HotSeat needs a larger community in order for artists to get a broad amount of feedback. Mimi's art school buddy and friend, Chris McGarry, has also jumped on board since the very beginning concept of Creative HotSeat. He has been helping to spread the word in the Philadelphia area. He also started a Facebook page for the website. Mimi says she would have never thought to use Facebook as a marketing tool if not for Chris. Together, they've been plastering the walls of Facebook art groups and pages with information on Creative HotSeat. They've received so much positive feedback from all types of groups and
