High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors and college/university transfer students are encouraged to attend this free event at our Granville Island Campus.
National Portfolio Day (NPD) is an opportunity to meet with representatives from colleges and universities accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
NPD is:
- an educational event for young artists/designers
- an opportunity for critique
- a chance to discuss your work with knowledgeable people from a variety of fine arts/design schools
- not an examination or competition
Representatives from Emily Carr University (and others, see below), will be conducting portfolio reviews between 11am-3pm. High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors and college/university transfer students are encouraged to attend. No appointment necessary.
Learn more about the National Portfolio Day Association on their website.
