Meet the group, discuss expectations, and define what each artist wants their portfolio to achieve.

Share portfolios you admire and identify what makes them clear, convincing, and cohesive.

Compare general portfolios, websites, and portfolios created for specific exhibitions, residencies, grants, programmes, and open calls.

Choose whether the project will be an exhibition, laboratory, or residency, and begin developing its concept and selection criteria.

Discuss the purpose of each document, how they work together, and how to avoid repetition.

Artists 1–3 reflect on the feedback: what resonated, what did not, and what they may change.

Discuss what to include, what to remove, and how to structure projects—especially in a multidisciplinary portfolio.

Artists 4–6 reflect on the feedback and decide what they want to change or keep.

Discuss layout, texts, captions, image quality, technical requirements, and presenting different media.

Artists 7–9 reflect on the feedback and decide what they want to change or keep.

Define voting criteria and discuss artistic quality, relevance, potential, shortlisting, and difficult decisions.

Evaluate real applications independently and compare the results as a group.

Review the shortlist, discuss the applications again, and select the finalists.

Share conclusions, changes, and plans for the future.

Prepare an application for an open call with feedback and support from the group.
