ABOUT FOTOFEST:
FotoFest is the only portfolio review event in the US that has a strong international group of Reviewers – a very economical way to gain responses on your work from diverse arts communities. It occurs March of every other even-numbered year; if you don’t get in this year, the next chance will be March 2010.
The 2008 “Meeting Place” runs March 7-20, and is organized as follows:
Session one: March 7/8/9/10
Education day #1 of 2: March 11
Session two: March 12/13/14/15
Education day #2 of 2: March 16
Session three: March 17/18/19/20
NOTE: The theme for the education days have not been announced but know that each day will be a unique program. Plan to attend both if possible!
Artists can register for 4 to 6 days of portfolio reviews; if you choose 6 days you will overlap one of the education days, and benefit from meeting Reviewers from two different sessions (Reviewers are asked to commit to one four-day session).
Fees are $765 for 4-day registration (one session) and $950 for 6-day registration (one and a half sessions).
