On Saturday, December 1, 2007, the Corcoran
College of Art + Design will host National Portfolio
Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

National Portfolio Days help further the artistic development of young artists by bringing together experienced college representatives to review artwork and offer critique. They are also ideal opportunities for exchanging information: about your work, yourself, and your college plans. They are not an examination or competition. Your portfolio should include your best work; but it may also include work in progress, sketchbooks, and tear sheets. For specific art school portfolio requirements, contact the particular college directly.

More than 50 prestigious nationally accredited art institutions of higher education will be represented on December 1, and more than 700 students are expected to attend from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The College is located at Seventeenth Street and New York Avenue in Northwest Washington, D.C. Visitors to National Portfolio Day should use the New York Avenue/College entrance. There is no charge for the event. Registration will take place before proceeding to the event. High school art students, graduates, transfer students, teachers, and parents are encouraged to attend this event. Students will have the opportunity to meet with admissions representatives, have their portfolios reviewed, and pick up college information from institutions located across the country and in Canada.
