Creating a Portfolio to Get Your Work Noticed
Join Michelle Wiebe for CEDD Module 9 as she shares what organizations are looking for in portfolio submissions that go beyond image quality!
Showcasing artwork is one of the most important tasks an artist is responsible for. Portfolios are more than a collection of photographs; they are an introduction to your potential and show your skill to new audiences and funders. In this session, Michelle Wiebe will not only touch on the basics of documenting your work but also share what organizations are looking for in portfolio submissions that go beyond image quality.
When: November 6, 2025 | 6:30–8:30 PM
Where: Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery, Cochrane AB
Cost:
Route 22 Members: Free!
