Promoting the portrait as a valid and valuable art form
The Portrait Society of Atlanta is dedicated to passing on to the general public the collective knowledge of its members. As an integral part of our mission, we publish a quarterly magazine called the FOLIO.
On this page are links to a selection of FOLIO articles and features. Every issue offers members a variety of portrait related articles, from topics such as contemporary and historical portraiture, exhibitions, critiques, lectures, and workshops to artist’s materials, techniques and biographies. Receiving the FOLIO is just one benefit of becoming a Portrait Society of Atlanta member. Visit our MEMBERSHIP page to learn about membership levels and find out how to join the Portrait Society of Atlanta.
