Portfolio Day
Young authors meet art experts

Visual and performance artists can participate in an open call and submit a portfolio. A professional jury selects artists to participate in the Portfolio Day. The participants have individual consultations with the jury members - established artists, curators and gallerists who give them feedback to their portfolio and advises how to develop their career and artistic practice. The goal is to help young artists to learn how to present themselves and their work, how to communicate with curators and gallerists and to introduce them to art professionals. 

Ten young artists took part in the first edition of the project and sought advice on developing their creative careers. The expert jury was composed of the artists Pravdoliub Ivanov and Luchezar Boyadjiev, the curators Svetlana Kuyumdzhieva, Vera Mlechevska and Galina Lardeva, the gallerists Vesselina Sarieva and Katrin Sarieva.
