What is the alumni portfolio page 'smarter art market'?
It's where artists who studied at SmArt School and the IMC can have portfolio pages for free! To be eligible all you have to do is complete a SmArt School mentorship beyond the beginner level or have attended the IMC. We're not your average school, we continue to promote the artists who studied with us!

Submissions are accepted twice a year, during these dates:
