Portfolio website workshop with Stanzie Tooth
Presenter Stanzie Tooth is identified by BAO as senior brand manager at Format and a former gallery director. The organisation’s biography also describes her experience reviewing portfolios for exhibitions, grants and prizes.
That combination places the session at the intersection of artistic presentation and professional applications. The advertised programme covers selecting a layout that suits an artist’s goals, choosing strong work without overcrowding the site, and presenting a professional online presence.
BAO says examples will cover fine-art portfolios, freelance work and resume-style websites. Those are different purposes: an artist approaching a gallery may need a different selection from someone showing a prospective client the services they offer.
The session’s stated aim is to help participants leave with a clearer plan for their portfolio. Its title is not a guarantee of commissions, exhibition selections or employment, and the listing does not promise a completed website by the end of the workshop.
Prepare work samples before joining
Artists can make the session more useful by deciding what they want a visitor to understand about their work. A practical starting point is to identify the audience, then gather a small selection of projects that supports that purpose.
That preparation is a suggestion for attendees, rather than an admission requirement announced by BAO. The organiser’s published description does not specify a mandatory software subscription, a particular website platform that participants must buy, or an in-person component.
