Studio Salon is a weekly gathering where artists in any discipline share works-in-process and practice structured, peer feedback. Sessions will take place every Sunday for eight weeks, beginning January 11.

Organized by Kristen Yeung (www.kristenyeung.com) and Skye Hughes (skyehughes.wtf) — if you’re an old friend or someone we haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting, welcome to this informational page!

If you’re reading this, you must be (at least) slightly interested! Nice. Read on to learn more.

🦜 Who’s it for?

Anyone making art in any medium! We’re hoping to bring together folks from all corners of Seattle—writers, visual artists, performers, filmmakers, musicians… and anything else in the spaces between or outside. We are sort of anti-category, we just want to spark more connection and conversation across forms and communities. If you’re interested in making things and talking about them, you’re totally welcome, all backgrounds and experience levels.

➡ Our Process

We’ll open the winter session by using the Studio Salon feedback framework as our baseline: show all work, then gather and move through feedback in sequential order (more on this below). In the first meeting, we’ll co-create community agreements (equity, care, time-keeping) and note any adjustments the group would like to make. As the series continues, we’ll keep checking in and refining the structure together — so the framework remains responsive to us.

The goal: a living feedback structure that’s rigorous, generous, and uniquely ours.

🧰 Feedback Framework

What is this framework of which we speak? Here’re the basics:

• Everyone shows work every week (YES).
• Artists show work without explanation (no qualification or apology).

The feedback structure itself has 4 steps. It looks like this:
