About the Medium Review

The Medium Review takes place over two days, April 25-26, 2024, with a welcome evening on April 24. The review offers an opportunity for artists to meet with museum curators, gallery owners, and editors from across the spectrum of fine art photography. Review registration includes a minimum of 8 reviews.

Registration for the review also includes admission to several virtual and in-person Festival events, including the annual Keynote Lecture. Participants can join as a VIP guest with the Big Pass and receive additional benefits including a bus tour of artist studios and exhibition spaces in Tijuana, MX.

Individual Meetings

Photographers receive a minimum of eight, 20 minute meetings with curators, gallerists, publishers, and editors based on your personal selections made in February 2024. Medium Photo proudly schedules 80% - 90% of each photographer’s top choices thanks to hand-scheduling the placement process. We do not rely on digital programs to complete this portion of the review, or work with a lottery system at any point in the process.

Each meeting presents the opportunity to share your work, learn about curatorial interests and upcoming projects, and develop relationships that foster your career growth. We offer a virtual space to share tours of your studio before the review, presenting enriched awareness of your work and practice to benefit reviewers and peer photographers participating in the review.

2024 Reviewers

We invite reviewers from across the field of photography to meet with artists for one-on-one conversations about their work, and how their organization can offer support. Our criteria for inviting reviewers is simple: we select individuals who are actively engaged in the field of fine art photography, and who have a track record of supporting artists with opportunities for exhibitions, publications, and expanding public awareness of your work.


 

Second Sight Award

Each year participating reviewers nominate three artists they met with, whose work and ability to speak about their work resonate. One artist is chosen through reviewer nominations to receive the Second Sight Award, which was given to Anh-Thuy Nguyen in 2023. The award recipient is invited to present the Second Sight lecture at our annual Festival, is invited to a hosted dinner with our Keynote Lecturer, and participates in a collectors event for Medium Photo supporters of Group f.16. Previous Second Sight Award recipients include Amanda Marchand (2022), Fatemeh Baigmoradi (2021), Mariel Miranda (2019), Robert Calafiore (2018), Justyna Badach (2017), Leonard Suryajaya (2016), Ellen Garvens (2015), Kurt Simonson (2014), and David Emitt Adams (2013).
