About this Event

Ask an Artist... Creative Portfolios with community artist,

Thursday 26th February, 10.30am-12pm

Tickets: £4 donation

Join us for our monthly Ask An Artist sessions, part of our OSC (Open School Creative) programme.
This time, we'll discuss all things portfolios with Cora Clarke - a community artist based in Boscombe. With a background in illustration and animation, Cora uses visual arts to help people to tell their stories - especially those we don't often hear from.

Over a coffee, we'll chat with Cora and explore:

How to compose an impactful portfolio in simple steps
Local artist examples and inspiration
Choosing and presenting your work

Take the opportunity to share your own portfolio, or a collection of your artwork for gentle feedback and advice.

Open to all creatives at any stage. Whether you're looking for tips, reassurance, or just a space to connect with others figuring it out too - come along! No need to prepare anything in advance (although you are welcome to), just bring your curiosity and we'll bring the cuppas....
