National Portfolio Day

Sun, Nov 11: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Philadelphia Convention Center
Hosted by: Moore College of Art & Design
Time: 12:00pm - 4:00pm 

National Portfolio Day is an event specifically for visual artists and designers. It is an opportunity for those who wish to pursue an education in the visual and related arts to meet with representatives from colleges accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.  Representatives will be available to review your artwork, discuss their programs and answer questions about professional careers in art.  High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors and college transfer students are encouraged to attend.

National Portfolio Day serves a variety of purposes.  Most importantly, it is designed to help further the artistic development of young artists by bringing together experienced college representatives to review artwork and offer feedback.  We understand that some people make certain kinds of art more successfully than others.  Don't be discouraged if you see work that is "better" than yours.  A National Portfolio Day may be the first time you have seen so many people in one place who all share a powerful commitment to the arts.  The experience is a small taste of what a professional art program can be like.

National Portfolio Days are also about the exchange of information about your work, yourself, your college plans, and your concerns.  This is not an examination or competition.  The college representatives are pleased to talk about their programs with you and can be most helpful when discussing your artwork.  Your portfolio should include your best and most recent work, but it can also include works in progress, sketchbooks and tear sheets.  You'll hear many different opinions of your work.  Don't hesitate to explain how you develop your ideas and where you want to go with them.  No admissions decisions or scholarship awards will be offered to you at National Portfolio Day.  Some colleges represented may accept your portfolio as the visual portion of your application.  Other colleges have restrictions that prohibit them from making a definite portfolio decision at the time of your review.  We urge you to discuss your work with as many representatives as possible. 

Photo Contest Opportunity

If you are interested in participating in this contest please see Ms. Russomagno or Dr. Johnston.  You do not need to be a photo student to submit work!  This is a great opportunity to spend some time in GA's Preserve and help showcase our amazing space!

Maryland Institute College of Art Annual Presentation

The Maryland Institute College of Art, located in Baltimore, will be holding their annual PA presentation in Philadelphia on January 14th, 2012 at the Sofitel Hotel. MICA is ranked as one of the top art schools in the nation, so this presentation should be of great interest to anyone considering a future in the arts.

The program is quite expansive and incredibly informative. It includes optional individual portfolio reviews, a presentation of scholarships/financial aid and an alumni panel discussion. The alumni panel discusses everything from careers, internships to navigating those difficult decisions with parents and the whole college decision process. Besides being a valuable experience for you as a young aspiring artist, this is equally insightful for your parents as well.
