The Portfolio Project is a project-oriented approach to photography. Small groups meet monthly, with each participant working on a collection of images based on a chosen single topic, idea or concept. This is a long term project (9+ months > infinity).

The sign-up for the portfolio project begins with an information session in June, with a new session starting in September though June of each club year. During the summer, participants choose and develop their topic/idea and write an Artist’s Statement. Participants are assigned to a group with a leader and the small groups start meeting monthly. The small groups will also meet with an expert reviewer for feedback and critique. The Portfolio Project ends with a Showcase of participants’ portfolios at the last Speaker’s Meeting of the year in June.
