Portfolio Guidelines
A portfolio consists of 10-15 pieces of artwork. A sketchbook, clear photographs, and slides may be included. It is often helpful to include some examples of freehand drawing. Work copied from other artwork will not be considered. Portfolios will be evaluated on the basis of skill and creativity.Photographs or slides of three dimensional objects or of large two dimensional pieces should be submitted in lieu of the actual art. When sending slides, please submit 2"x 2" 35mm copies of the original slides. Do not send glass slides. Slides and photographs should be numbered with number 1 on top and they should be accompanied by a numbered list including title, medium, dimensions and date of completion. Slides should either be banded together or in a protective cover slide jacket/sheet in numerical order. With the image right side up and the emulsion side down, please place a dot in the lower left hand corner. Be sure to put your name on each slide and/or photograph. Please use protective materials for mailing and for the return mailing of your portfolio.
Completed applications will be reviewed promptly, with strongest consideration given to portfolio and essay. Although we will respect your portfolio, Heartwood cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss. We will return portfolios shortly after review dates, provided we have received proper return postage and address labels.
