NATIONAL PORTFOLIO DAYS IN TEXAS

The Department of Art and Art History will attend the following National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) Portfolio Review Events. Applicants will find these two events very helpful in their search for information on art programs. There will be over 50 art colleges, institutes, and schools in attendance at this event. Representatives from UT Austin's Department of Art and Art History will be present to provide program, admission, and portfolio information, as well as to review and provide feedback on your art portfolios. Don't miss this event!

It is not necessary to formally register for NPDA events. You need only to attend the sessions that interest you. Should you have questions about what to bring, please visit the Tips section on the National Portfolio Day Association's web site.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION UPDATE: The School of Visual Arts in New York City, who is organizing and hosting these two events, recently sent out a poster to all Texas high schools and junior colleges with incorrect dates and locations of these two events.
