Portfolio submissions will only be accepted from Tuesday August 11th to Friday August 14th, 2009.

Portfolios must be picked-up from Tuesday, August 18th to Friday, August 21st, 2009.

We regret that we are unable to return any material that is not accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please ensure that your portfolio can be easily repacked.

Before dropping off your work for consideration at the gallery, please ensure that it fulfills the following specifications:

• Your portfolio consists of 10-20 exhibition-quality prints (i.e., as they would appear in a show, not mini-lab prints, not work prints, and should be fibre-based if they are black & white)
• The work contains a coherent theme (not a “best of” portfolio)
• The prints are loose or matted (not framed), and safely housed in a proper storage container
• Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail are clearly displayed, and return postage, etc. is included, if necessary.
• You should have a good idea of the material that this gallery regularly displays. Please use our website to familiarize yourself with the types of artists and works that we represent.

Please note:

• E-mail attachments are not opened. Slides and CD are not viewed.

Those interested in portfolio reviews should contact the various agencies offering this service. Such opportunities and workshops are available through: CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival; Gallery TPW; Visual Arts Ontario; Rhubarb; and Houston FotoFest, amongst others.
