The Portfolio Throwdown is an informal portfolio walkthrough with MWSPE regional conference attendees at Columbia College Chicago. This event will also coincide with Graduate Open Studios at Columbia College Chicago.
Students and professionals are all invited to participate in the Portfolio Throwdown. This opportunity is free of charge and will give participating artists the opportunity to share their work with curators, educators, artists, and students. Pre-registration is required.
Slots are limited, so early conference registration is a must. During the online conference registration process, artists will be presented with the option of enrolling in the Portfolio Throwdown. Once the event registration reaches capacity, the registration system will indicate that all slots are full.
The Portfolio Throwdown is available to all members. Please make sure your membership is current at the time of the conference in order to participate. If you are a student, please make sure to sign up for the Student Portfolio Reviews as well on, Saturday, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm as well!
Thank you!
