Presenting photographers must attend from 12.00 – 17.00, open to the public from 14.00
Folio Fridays are our regular in-person portfolio review and networking sessions for photographers and artists working with photography.
These sessions are free for participating photographers and include two presentations by photography professionals, as well as time for a complimentary lunch and networking with participating photographers. As part of this session, each photographer will receive two, 15-minute one-to-one reviews by the two photography professionals and an opportunity to share work with other participating artists/photographers, as well as gallery visitors.
This sessions reviewers are our regular host Steve Macleod and Anthony Lam.
The session is 'closed' from noon to 14.00 for presentations, lunch and discussion. From 14.00 to 17.00, we open the door to gallery visitors. In this way, Folio Friday creates opportunities for the public to view and discuss work with presenting photographers and is included with exhibition entrance.
If you're a photographer or artist wanting feedback on your work or a recent project – either completed or in progress – Folio Fridays are there to support you. Each photographer is allocated an individual table where you can present your form in physical/digital form for feedback. (Please, no framed work.)
Book one space per photographer. Please, only book if you're ready to share your work and can commit to the full five hours of the session. More information will be sent to participants, prior to the session.
Polite notice: If you have presented at Folio Friday in the past three years, please leave the space for another photographer or artist as there are limited spaces each month.
