In order to build
the most comprehensive course possible
we've spoken to many jury members
gallerists, curators, artists,
graphic designers and photographers.
Based on our findings
from these discussions
we developed this online video course,
which is organized as
a step-by-step guide.
I'm Jordie Oetken,
an artist based in Los Angeles.
Throughout my career,
I've held residencies
at the Skowhegan School
of Painting and Sculpture, MacDowell,
the Vermont Studio Center,
the Yale Norfolk School of Art,
and received various
grants and fellowships
where I always had to submit a portfolio.
I'll take you through this course,
which will give you all the tools
you need to write a strong portfolio.
