Portfolio Workshop

Get your portfolio in shape as a professional calling card. This workshop provides practical tools to tell your story, create visibility, and present your work professionally when meeting colleagues, audiences, collaborators, and funders.

The Portfolio Workshop focuses on developing and strengthening the personal portfolio as a central tool in artistic practice and business. Whether you work with visual arts, performing arts, film, music, or other art forms, your portfolio can serve as a tool to tell stories, build visibility, and present your work in a professional and personal way.

Through reflection, dialogue, and feedback, you will gain tools to identify and strengthen the narratives that best represent your practice – and to translate those narratives into your portfolio.
