Creative Industries Trafford and Castlefield Gallery team up to offer a day of portfolio sessions for contemporary visual artists with leading art professionals.

Bring your portfolio (either in digital format on a laptop or in 2D format – maximum A1 size) for an intensive one-to-one 30 minute session to discuss your work and routes forward with your art career.

The viewers have a whole range of expertise in areas such as curation, art market and visual arts publishing. They are also experienced in advising artists in developing their professional practice, including marketing, fundraising and finding the right platforms for artwork.

So whether you are after critical feedback or career development advice, email info@creativeindustriestrafford.org with what you want to gain from a Portfolio session, and we’ll try to match your request.

Give your portfolio the revamp it needs and get your work in front of experienced art figures.

With their guidance, all participants will create a simple action plan and will be offered an additional follow-up later in the year to monitor your progress.

This event takes place at Castlefield Gallery, 2 Hewitt St, Manchester M15 4GB.
