The Painter’s Circle: 001

Step Out of the Studio and Into the Conversation.

Painting is often a solitary act, but thriving as an artist in New York City shouldn’t be. Welcome to The Painter’s Circle: 001—the inaugural gathering of a new, ongoing series dedicated entirely to the craft, culture, and business of painting.

Hosted by Solas Studio, this isn’t just another casual mixer; it’s an active, dedicated forum designed for working painters to connect, recharge, and elevate their practice. Whether you are navigating the complexities of the NYC art market, looking for a fresh set of eyes on a stubborn work-in-progress, or simply seeking a community that understands the grind, The Painter’s Circle is your space.

Open Critiques
Bring a physical piece, a sketchbook, or high-res photos on a tablet for constructive, peer-driven feedback.

Shop Talk
Candid discussions on the realities of the art world, from pricing strategies and finding representation to mastering new materials and techniques.

Authentic Networking
Swap stories, share vital resources, and build meaningful relationships with fellow creators in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Leave the isolation at the easel. Join the circle.
