PORTFOLIO REVIEWS

The Art Department Berlin 2023

Talk to artists and studios about your portfolio at our festival. Get connected, get advice and learn how to improve your portfolio.

We are happy the following artists and studios are willing to conduct portfolio reviews (tentative program, make sure to watch the narrowcasting for the latest schedule):

SATURDAY 13 MAY | TAD 2023

SUNDAY 14 MAY | TAD 2023

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Portfolio review for professionals (2+ years experience)
The classic review as you know it.

Portfolio review for starters & students
The name says it all: we’d like to reserve a few time slots for beginners who don’t really have a huge portfolio yet and might be looking for more basic tips & tricks. How do you build your portfolio? Where do you start?

Good to know

  • 1 review per person is allowed (due to high demand)
  • Registration for portfolio reviews can only be done on-site at the festival venue.
  • It’s a first come, first serve system. Get your running shoes on.
  • Some reviews will be done virtually. So please make sure to bring a virtual version of your portfolio as well. We’ll provide the laptop, you provide your work (either a website or USB-stick).
  • Most reviews however will be done face-to-face. If you want to show your portfolio digitally here, you’ll need to bring your own device.
