FolioForum

FolioForum

Gallery 44's FolioForum, is a free, bi-monthly portfolio review group for members. This program provides members, both emerging and established, with the opportunity to discuss their work in a casual and supportive environment with members and a guest artist, writer, curator or other professional from the Toronto arts community.

The review is run like a group critique: each participant has 20 minutes to share a project and receive feedback from the reviewer and the rest of the group. Before the review you should prepare 5-20 images from single body of work that is nearing completion as well as a few questions to guide discussion.

Sip n' Crit

Sip n' Crit

This program offers a casual means by which to generate discussion and receive constructive feedback about a body of work that is in progress, near completion or at completion. Join us for some brews and reviews!

  • Bringing work to share is not mandatory. You can also bring work of another photographer or theme you would like to discuss with the group.
  • It's currently run as a mix of Zoom and in-person events, limited to 8 members.
  • Sip n' Crit is a member-run event currently lead by the inimitable Ben Dickey and Lesia Miga!
