Every year the Nation Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) hosts a number of portfolio days across the country. The portfolio days give students a chance to speak with college representatives and also receive critiques on his or her portfolio. All the events are free and don’t require any pre-registration. Below I’ve listed the links to the NPDA website and also to the page that has all the different portfolio dates. Also on the NPDA website is a list of all the colleges that attend the portfolio days. I’ve never been to a portfolio day but a friend said that they’re really hectic, so it’s best to go with a plan of the schools you would like to see. On the website they say that they want to see original work, don’t spend time matting or framing work, and keep everything simple. Follow my guide in THIS POST to see what you should include and what you should leave out. Even if you aren’t looking into colleges yet, this is a great opporunity to get great feedback on your work so that when you do choose a college your portfolio will already be strong. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
