New England Portfolio Review | March 12- 13, 2022

The New England Portfolio Reviews are online in March 2022!

We are thrilled to be able to bring everyone to New England the weekend of March 11-13 for our online portfolio reviews, with an opportunity for artists to connect and grow from conversation with professionals in the field.

The weekend will be a great opportunity for emerging and established photographers to meet with curators, gallerists, educators, and other image professionals in the busy New England photography world and beyond. The reviews are hosted in partnership with The Griffin Museum of Photography and the Photographic Resource Center.

The portfolio reviews will serve individuals who are just embarking on their careers and those who have experience and are hoping to reach new audiences. In the traditional format, each review will be 25 minutes long (with 5 minutes between reviews) with one reviewer.

Here is a list of current reviewers – more are being added, and all are subject to change.

Of the 90+ participating photographers, ten are emerging photographers that will receive full scholarships. We believe that providing professional opportunities to emerging photographers is key to keeping the industry strong and active.
