National Portfolio Days
National Portfolio Days are scheduled throughout the United States and Canada at various art schools and colleges. Pratt also attends several regional portfolio days. Visit the National Portfolio Day (NPD) website for details, including the location of each NPD event.
Fall 2024 National Portfolio Days:
- Boston, MA – October 19th
- New York City, NY – October 26th
- Philadelphia, PA – October 27th
Portfolio days are specifically for prospective first-year and transfer students to receive feedback on visual portfolios. Please plan to show 10 to 15 pieces of original work including sketchpads if available. You may bring work in any medium including clothing, jewelry and sculpture if you can carry it. Most schools will ask to see work from observation, so make sure you bring enough of a selection.
Graduate
While Pratt does not attend graduate national portfolio days, we encourage you to reach out to our academic department chairs with any questions you might have about their departmental requirements. Or, you may email admissions@pratt.edu with inquiries.
