Second Preliminary Review, Portfolio Project – features the preliminary review of the second half of this year’s Portfolio Project (PP) submissions.  We have an amazing variety of subject matter and approaches, some of which have been inspired by the pandemic restrictions surrounding us. Ginger Werz-Petricka, Willa Siegel, and Brenda Wilson, co-chairs of the Portfolio Project will offer their feedback on key aspects of each portfolio presented: the artist statement, how it reflects the portfolio content, and the cohesiveness of portfolio images. The preliminary review gives a good opportunity to focus upon the artist statement, and whether it clearly and concisely tells the viewer what the subject is, why the artist selected this subject, and how the goal of the project was accomplished.
