"As a direct result of participating in the portfolio review, I have since had my first solo show in Atlanta! I was also able to make professional connections with galleries and other artists that continue to open doors for my work."

"I sold six prints at the ACP Portfolio Walk...and became a better presenter of my work"
-
"I was in the ACP Portfolio Review and thanks to that I am now in a 'Landscape' group exhibition in Inner Mongolia, China."
-
"The portfolio event is a really great resource! I am going to be part of Fraction magazine's December edition because of my meeting with David. I also met with the Blue Sky folks and they seemed very interested in my work."

"As a very direct result of the 2008 portfolio review, I have a portfolio published in the current issue of Lenswork Extended...thanks so much to ACP's Portfolio Review!!"
- Updated: Feb. 2013
Added in 2005 at the request of photographers, the ACP Portfolio Review and Walk offers artists the opportunity to meet with highly respected curators, dealers, editors, and agency representatives from across the United States and beyond. The Portfolio Walk (following the review sessions) gives participating photographers the opportunity to present their work to the general public at an evening reception, open to all.
Every year we have many more applicants than available slots, so each application will be evaluated by ACP and a third-party judge to determine if the applicant may participate in the Reviews (it is FREE to apply).
We will update this page in the Spring of 2013 with information about this year's review. Please make sure you're on our email list to receive updates.
