Are you preparing a portfolio for transfer to another art program or art school? Confused about what might be expected of you and your work? Get some free feedback from some of the nations largest art programs and art schools at the National Portfolio Day – Atlanta this Sunday!

National Portfolio Day – Atlanta will occur on September 25th, 2016, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center (246 Perimeter Center Parkway NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30346).

Those participating in the NPD will be able to browse the options available at individual institutions (check out the list of schools that will be present!) as well as receive invaluable feedback on their work. You will not be expected to have a 100% complete portfolio and there is no general expectation as to the number of works you need (though you’re unlikely to have more than 15 works reviewed given their limited time frame). Bring the strongest of what you have and see what they say – record your session if they’ll permit it or take notes, or better yet, bring a friend to take notes for you so you can focus!

Register for this free opportunity in advance to expedite your check-in on Sunday by visiting the NPD website and clicking on the Atlanta tab.

While attending NPD is not an official club event, if you’re interested in going with other members from the Art Club, reach out using the clubs Group Me. If you haven’t joined the Art Club’s Group Me, it’s simple and free and starts with you clicking the following link! https://app.groupme.com/join_group/24419669/0K2JY0

And, if this feels a little too overwhelming, consider attending the RISD Portfolio Review on the Dunwoody campus on Sept 28 (4 pm in NA1150) with Antonio Peters. In a more comfortable and familiar setting, you can be assured of a more personal experience. If you’re not quite ready to share your work, consider coming just to hang out and listen to other students reviews – you’ll gain many valuable insights as to what you can do in your own portfolio even if your personal work isn’t being critiqued!
