What is College Art Portfolio Day?

Art and design schools are very competitive and require a portfolio of artwork for admission. A portfolio review day allows students to get their art reviewed by admissions officers who know what colleges are looking for.

Date & Time: Sunday, October 12, 2025 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Spend More Time with Admissions Officers

We limit attendance to ensure adequate time is allocated to each student. Students will receive personalized, constructive feedback from representatives of leading art schools. You have the opportunity to refine your portfolio package prior to submitting your applications.

Convenient Location for Students Living in the DMV Area

Our Vienna, VA location has ample parking, and it is a convenient location for students who live in Northern Virginia. It is located right off on Route 66, which makes it easily accessible for students who live in Maryland and D.C. It is located 26 miles outside of Washington D.C., and about a 45-minute drive from Maryland.

What to Bring

  • All of your work (not framed). This includes unfinished pieces that are far enough along that you understand the concept and direction.
  • For pieces that are too large or difficult to bring in, be sure to take good pictures of them to bring with you on your iPad, tablet or laptop.  You want to avoid using your phone to show your work and only use it as a last resort.  When using your device, make sure that your work is easily accessible and does not rely on the internet.  You want to avoid as many issues as possible.  
  • Your sketchbook
  • Your smile cause you're gonna be great!

College Art Portfolio Program

To stand out to admissions officers at top art schools, students must have a portfolio which showcases their skills and creativity. Our program provides students with the opportunity to get 1:1 feedback so that they can grow as artists.
