What Is A Portfolio Presentation?

A Portfolio Presentation is a beautiful PDF presentation of Artworks featuring its' essential information (download example at the bottom of the page). 

Here are some ideas to make the most of this feature, depending on your artistic role:

• Gallery: Impress potential collectors with customized Portfolio presentations, segmented by themes such as artist, medium, subject, size, similar works, or available pieces.

• Artist: Engage potential collectors with tailored presentations for grants, residencies, and calls for artists. Showcase your work for gallery representation and commissions by presenting similar previous projects.

• Art Dealer: Impress clients and collectors with detailed information about specific artists or curated selections of artworks grouped by themes or sizes. Offer bespoke, curated collections to meet your clients' tastes and interests.

• Photographer: Enhance gallery representation and engage collectors with themed portfolio presentations. Use these presentations for grants, residencies, and calls for artists, complete with in-depth artwork information.
