Portfolio Reviews with X Gallery curator Lisa DuBois

An in person or online Portfolio Review by a qualified curator is the best way for you to improve your presentation and to get feedback on your work. The review is designed to bring you one step closer toward your goals. There are limitless opportunities regardless of your age, gender, ethnic background or sexual orientation. The quality of your work and your passion is key to your success.

Reviews are not just for advanced artists and photographers.

The real purpose is to understand where you are, and how to move forward in the best way possible. Often artists and photographers do fantastic work but lack the ability to isolate the best work that will get the most attention.

You will learn how to access the best information for art residences, grants and contests and galleries that are suitable for you. You may be advised to wait and continue to produce work to add before applying for grants.
