Rhubarb-Rhubarb's popular international portfolio review will go ahead in 2010 afterall, thanks to the support photographers and reviewers showed after reports of its demise.

But following an outpouring of support, partnerships are now being put into place that will allow Rhubarb-Rhubarb to run an extended summer programme, including both the review and the summer school. 'Let's just say we had a lot of letters from photographers and reviewers,' Wilson told BJP.
