Giorgio Gigli

Date: March 17 - 11 pm

Venue: Lantern, Beijing

The Creative Review Sessions Team are pleased to invite you to our first and nonprofit portfolio review session. We will offer an afternoon of portfolio reviewing for contemporary visual artists. These sessions provide a communication platform with some of China's established and contemporary artists and curators to allow for suggestions, open dialogue and responses to your artwork or current projects in a comfortable relaxed environment. Artists will be allocated a one-to-one 20 minute open dialogue session with an invited artist or curator, who will be able to offer feedback or art advice.
