	PHOTOGRAPHIC FOLIO CRITIQUE PROGRAM Download the Photographic Folio Critique 2008 booking form PDF 80kb Program Outline CCP presents a new Photographic Folio Critique program for practicing artists, professional photographers and tertiary and post-graduate students. This program has been created to provide participants with the informed and supportive critical feedback that is difficult to acquire outside an academic environment. Private appointments will be scheduled with industry professionals Charlotte Day (freelance Curator and Writer), Matthew Sleeth (Melbourne-based photographic Artist) and Clare Williamson (Exhibitions Curator, State Library of Victoria). Bookings are limited, so early registration is recommended. INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS Charlotte Day is a freelance Curator and Writer.
