What are the ACP Virtual Portfolio Reviews?

ACP’s portfolio reviews focus on creating meaningful dialogue, relationship-building, and professional development opportunities. Our reviewers are tapped into the contemporary art landscape and can provide valuable network expansion and feedback. We feel the greatest strength of our portfolio review is receiving diverse input from industry professionals on your work. Our reviews will also provide peer networking opportunities, professional practice talks, and more.

Who should participate in the portfolio reviews?

Our reviews are for emerging and established lens-based artists (Photography, Video Art, Intermedia) looking to gain new insights into their work and expand their professional networks. Please see the list of reviewers to explore what they are looking for from participants.

Established and Emerging Artists – ACP portfolio reviews have curators, editors, gallerists, and publishers who provide meaningful dialogue, community connection, knowledge of the contemporary art landscape, as well as exhibition and publication opportunities
Students – ACP portfolio reviews have educators looking for graduate students as well as artists and industry professionals that will provide meaningful guidance and feedback.

How will the reviews take place?

The Virtual Portfolio Reviews will take place on Zoom. One Zoom link for each session will be created. Any review that takes place during that session will join that one link. Break out sessions with your reviewer will take place from there. Peer networking opportunities will take place on Slack and Zoom.

When will the reviews and events take place?

April 14 & 15, 2023 on Zoom between 10:00 am – 3:00 pm (EST). Reviews are not necessarily sequential. They take place in 20-minute increments. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (April 13-15) will each have an evening event 6:30-7:30 pm.

What if I’m not available for all the time slots during the 2 review days?

Participants should be able to be available during the review session times on both days. This will help ensure the best matches with reviewers, and for each participant to get the most out of all the scheduled events.
