Thank you for your interest in Portraits, Inc.
Our annual artist review period for 2026 is now closed. We welcome submissions from portrait artists interested in representation during the month of June only each year. Please review the guidelines below to prepare your materials for our 2027 review period.
We are always interested in adding new talent to our roster of artists, and we invite you to submit your work to us annually during the month of June. Our selections are made with the goal of maintaining the highest standards of artistic excellence and to ensure that we offer the strongest variety of styles, mediums, and price ranges to our clients. Because we are an active business, it is impossible to give a review of artists' portfolios in person or by phone or email.
A Portrait Review Board comprised of staff, top sales associates, and current artists meets once annually during the summer to look at submissions by prospective artists.
To submit your work for review, please assemble the following:
Submit up to 10 examples of your most recent portraits in a Google Drive folder link titled with your first and last name with shared setting set to "Anyone with the Link can View." Include in the folder a list of the works being submitted with the medium and size of each portrait. Portraits may be of people, animals, or architecture. Please include reference photographs of your subjects whenever possible to show the quality of the likenesses.
Your biography listing education, exhibition history, awards, and any articles published. Please include your website.
Your current price list and a description of your working methods. Prices submitted should reflect a 60% (artist) - 40% (agency) arrangement.
A list of three past clients for whom you have completed commissioned work with names, phone numbers or emails whom we may contact as a reference.
Please list the number of commissions you are able to complete in a year, your turnaround time from first sitting to delivery, and any other agencies/agents who currently represent your portrait work.
A $30 application fee will be due with each portfolio in order to be reviewed. Payment may be made via our secure online payment portal.
Submission information for our 2027 will be added here in Spring 2027. Applicants to our 2026 review will be notified by mid-August of our decision. Please be assured that we will give your portfolio our careful consideration.
