New England Portfolio Review | March 11 – 13, 2022

Posted on

We are thrilled to start of 2022 with the New England Portfolio Reviews in March of 2022!

Since 2009 The New England Portfolio Reviews (NEPR) have been co-produced by the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, MA and the Photographic Resource Center (PRC), Cambridge,  Massachusetts with the mission of bringing reviewers and photographers from New England and beyond for two days of discussion, networking, and gaining fresh perspective on one’s work. This NEPR is an online event to be held on March 11-13, 2022 with a keynote lecture by Meghann Riepenhoff – March 11th at 7pm. 

NEPR serves photographers who are just embarking on their careers and more established photographers hoping to reach new audiences. The online format allows for an expansion of participants in volume and in location including reviewers such gallerists, book publishers, museum professionals, critics, educators and advisors from all over the world who provide guidance and potential opportunities to grow artist practices.

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.

Posted on

We are pleased to offer a Member Portfolio Review to all current Members once a year.

Any active member of the Griffin Community can request a portfolio review with our Executive Director, Crista Dix. These reviews are free to all of our members one time per year.

If you request more than one review over the course of a year, there will be a fee. Nonmembers are welcomed to participate in a yearly review as new members, or with a fee.

Portfolio reviews take place via our Zoom platform, last 25 minutes and are individualized to the needs of the attendee. When you request your review, a Zoom link will be sent to you for your individual meeting date and time. If you would like an in person review, please let us know at the time of scheduling so that we can confirm that Crista will be available.

Things to think about when preparing for your review.

  • 25 minutes goes by quickly. Be prepared.
  • Have a presentation ready – 10 to 15 images in a slideshow, or presentation format. Your presentation can be built in Keynote, PDF, Powerpoint, or as a slide show from your Picture program.
  • Have questions ready for your review. What are the goals of your time during the review.
  • Be open to the reviewers responses. Grow from the experience.

If you have any questions at all about the portfolio review experience, or wish to schedule a review, don’t hesitate to contact us.

We have a handy sign up form to select a date and time that works with both your schedule and Crista’s. If you have any questions at all please call the museum at 781.729.1158 or email us at photos @ griffinmuseum dot org
