On Saturday, December 6, 2008, 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 also present 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.

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.
