MOCA Cleveland’s Nesnadny + Schwartz Visiting Critics Program
providing critical dialogue and national exposure for artists living
and working in our region and introduces our guest critics to the
wealth of artist talent in Northeast Ohio. Additionally, through public
lectures, these Visiting Critics connect Greater Cleveland audiences
to new ideas and emerging trends they’ve observed in contemporary
art around the country and through their experiences with artists.
Twice a year, MOCA invites a nationally recognized critic, curator
or scholar to Cleveland to conduct studio visits with artists in the
region who have been selected by the Visiting Critic based on their
portfolio submission. Past critics have included Shamim Momin from
The Whitney Museum of American Art, Amada Cruz formerly of Artadia
in New York, Dominic Molon from the MCA Chicago and James Elaine from
the UCLA Hammer Museum. Additionally, Art Forum contributing editor
Katy Siegel, Valerie Cassel Oliver, curator at CAM Houston, and LA
Times art critic David Pagel have also visited Cleveland as part of
the Nesnadny + Schwartz Visiting Critics Program.
Open Submission Process
The Visiting Critic conducts studio visits with artists during two
consecutive days. The Visiting Critic personally selects those artists
whose studios he/she would like to visit. During these critiques,
artists can expect to receive professional advice and critical feedback
from Visiting Critics. Applicants must live in the Northeast Ohio
region (Cuyahoga County and its contiguous counties). Enrolled students
must have completed at least one year of MFA study to apply to this program.
