Complementing the Art Gallery of Mississauga’s exhibition Sara Angelucci: Undergrowth, the gallery is offering a free portfolio review day for photographers.
This opportunity allows participants to meet one-on-one with three industry professionals—artist Sara Angelucci, photographer Alyssa Bistonath, and AGM TD Programming Curator Musha Neluheni—to show their work and receive valuable feedback and personal guidance on their careers.
If you would like feedback on work-in-progress or a completed body of work, advice on how to present work, or are looking to gain insight about exhibition opportunities, the AGM FREE Portfolio Review is an ideal opportunity for you.
Space is limited to 15 participants. If you have previously attended this event in the last two years, your registration will be wait-listed to ensure a fair opportunity for others.
