CAPIC VANCOUVER – PEER REVIEW EVENT REPORT

On October 2nd the CAPIC Vancouver Chapter held our first Peer Portfolio Review event, and it was quite a success! Our group leaders Adam Blasberg, Kris Grunert, Noel Hendrickson, Chris Morris and Pooya Nabei led some engaging and thoughtful group discussion about our participants’ work, and a good time and some valuable networking was had by all.  

This was a great opportunity to help our members and other attendees prepare for our “speed dating” style Portfolio Review event with Art Directors and Art Buyers, coming this winter.
