National Portfolio Day provides students with the opportunity to meet with representatives from over 20 schools and colleges from across the nation. Representatives will review portfolios, offer critiques, and share information about their schools. All participating schools are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
Schools and universities participating in this event include:
Bring finished pieces, works in progress, and sketchbooks. Bring original artwork whenever possible, but don't worry about matting or framing your work. If you have digital work, bring your laptop or tablet with a self-contained power source as a backup.
National Portfolio Day event is free and open to prospective students and their families. You don't need a reservation to attend. However, if you choose to RSVP below, you'll receive email reminders and correspondence about both National Portfolio Day and the Herron Preview event.
