Portfolio Reviews
Date: Friday August 6th 2010
Location: Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre
In conjunction with the 12th Regional Juried Exhibition, guest curator Valérie Lamontagne will be conducting portfolio reviews for Modern Fuel members. The professional portfolio review process is an important service to artists and Modern Fuel is proud to once again be offering such an opportunity to the community. Effective portfolio presentation is a must for every artist. Now is your chance to ask a professional all the questions you've been bottling up inside (about your work and its presentation anyhow). Space is limited, so please call the gallery and book a spot 613-548-4883 or email us at modernfuel@bellnet.ca.
