How to Prepare for a Portfolio Review

  • Your portfolio should include your best and most recent work, but it can also include works in progress, sketchbooks, and first drafts.
  • Before the session, practice explaining how you develop your ideas, articulating where you want to go with those ideas, and sharing the process of arriving at the completed work.
  • We encourage you to ask questions and take this opportunity to learn about the process of applying to an art program.
  • For virtual reviews, please put all of your images onto a website (if you have one), or into a folder on Google Drive, or some other sharing service. Be prepared to share a direct link to your work with your faculty reviewer. 

National Portfolio Days

We will be at National Portfolio Days virtually and in-person this year for undergraduates only. We will attend the Lowell, MA event on October 2nd and the New York City event on October 3rd in-person. Pre-registration is required for both virtual and in-person events.
