The artists, designers and photographers involved in the Staff Portfolio Exhibition and Edition all teach or have taught in the Department of Art & Design at the University of Chester in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes including Photography, Graphic Design and Fine Art.

This boxed multiple which is also featured as part of the exhibition contains an image from each contributor and is accompanied by a text insert, which illuminates their practice and research. The project was originally supported by the University of Chester Research & Knowledge Transfer Office and originated as a result of funding which supported an exhibition of Fine Art & Photography staff entitled Encounter at the Novas CUC Centre in 2009.

The project was completed with the support of the Department of Art & Design in 2011. The University of Chester Art & Design Staff Portfolio Exhibition and Edition was curated by Cian Quayle and designed by Mireille Fauchon. The boxed multiple is in a limited edition of 250.
