The Art Department is giving you the chance to talk to artists and studios. Get connected, get advice and learn about how to improve your portfolio.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Each review slot has 15 minutes;
- Registration for portfolio reviews can only be done on-site, at the festival venue;
- You can only sign up for the portfolio reviews session happening on that specific day;
- It’s a first come, first serve system. Get your running shoes on;
- Due to high demand, you can only sign up for 1 portfolio review per person (if there are spots left, places get filled fast and full=full);
- The reviews will be done face-to-face. If you want to show your portfolio digitally, you’ll need to bring your own device.
