PORTFOLIO - After The Event
AFTER THE EVENT
Following up with your new contacts is essential if you want to maximize your potential for tangible returns from this experience. You will initiate relationships – now cultivate them. Write each Reviewer and thank them for their insights towards your work, advice, and their time. Send follow-up packets within a few weeks to those who requested additional materials at your expense (never send C.O.D. unless specifically told to do so). If a Reviewer encouraged you to provide more material for their files, such as an artists' resume an overview of a current or past project, an exhibition proposal, photocopies/laser prints of images, sets of slides, CD-Rom or other such promotional materials.
I hope that this advice will be helpful to you, and that your career will benefit from your efforts before, during and after attending the portfolio review event.
