L A Nobl Gallery
The L A Noble Gallery's annual celebration of photography FIX Photo is commencing from May and we are seeking volunteers to invigilate. With the Gallery curator having experience in mentoring university students she wants to present the opportunity for those who volunteer to receive a free portfolio review by Miss Laura Noble (RRP £95) as well as a session on curating. We believe that not only would this be a great learning experience for your students but also further help them in the studies by having their portfolio reviewed by someone active in the industry.
