New England Portfolio Reviews (NEPR)

@ The New England Portfolio Reviews are taking place September 19-20, 2026. ABOUT NEPR Since 2009 the Griffin Museum of Photography has created a gathering space bringing reviewers and photographers together from New England and beyond for two days of discussion, networking, and gaining fresh perspective on one’s work. NEPR serves photographers who are just embarking on their careers, and more established photographers, all hoping to reach new audiences and gain fresh perspective on their work. The online format allows for an expansion of participants in volume and in location including reviewers such as gallerists, book publishers, museum professionals, critics, educators and advisors from all over the world who provide guidance and potential opportunities to grow artist practices. ARTIST INDEX The 2026 NEPR Artist Index is a compendium of the participating artists from across the country along with the six scholarship students from around New England. It will be available to everyone for download after registration.
