National Portfolio Day is a free annual event hosted by the National Portfolio Day Association that connects high school students with admissions representatives and faculty from accredited art and design schools around the world. Students bring their portfolios to receive one-on-one feedback from college counselors, admissions teams, and faculty at events held across dozens of cities, including Atlanta, Denver, Austin, and Seoul, as well as fully online.
