I conduct digital GROUP PORTFOLIO REVIEWS for guilds or other organizations that wish to have a group of studio quilts selected as representative examples of their best quilt art, for submission to potential publishers or exhibition venues. The group must submit all the images on a CD viewable by a Mac, with a Word document listing the quilts and their dimensions. My fee is $400 (up to 100 works reviewed, in overall and detail images) or $500 (up to 150). I retain copyright to the text but you have non-exclusive worldwide rights, in perpetuity. Guilds are welcome to combine my comments with images of the selected quilts for presentations at guild meetings or in documents sent to prospective venues and publishers. Below is a testimonial from a group whose portfolio I reviewed:
*********************************************************************************************
Front Range Contemporary Quilters was founded in Colorado in 1988. In 2008, we asked Dr. Sandra Sider to jury a new portfolio. Our members submitted digital images, and Dr. Sider reviewed them with the same expert scrutiny as she would for an exhibit. In no time we had a new portfolio of images, juried, and including the full range of work from our members. One year later we have several exhibits completed and planned in art centers and museums. Thanks to our new portfolio, FRCQ was chosen to represent change and innovation. What a difference a new portfolio makes! See our portfolio online at www.artquilters.org
