National Portfolio Day and Saturday with SAIC
@ School of the Art Institute of Chicago
280 S Columbus Dr, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Saturday, October 3rd, from 3 PM - 6 PM
On view through Sunday, October 4th
SAIC invites you to one of the nation’s largest portfolio days, with representatives from nearly 50 nationally accredited art schools and universities on hand to discuss your work and assist you in pursuing an education in the visual arts. High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and college transfer students are encouraged to attend this four-hour educational event, created for emerging visual artists and designers. Representatives from colleges of art and design will review artwork, discuss programs, and answer questions about creative and professional careers.
This is an educational event—no admissions decisions or scholarship awards will be offered. Portfolios should include your best and most recent work, but can also include works in progress, sketchbooks, and tear sheets—it is not necessary to mat or frame work. Bring original artwork whenever possible, and keep your presentation simple; the work itself is what is important.
Come a day early for a pre-National Portfolio Day event! “Saturday with SAIC” will feature the presentation “Portfolio Day Survival Guide” to help you make the most of your National Portfolio Day experience, including portfolio preparation tips for both admission and merit scholarship, and the opportunity to tour our state-of-the-art facilities. Current students, faculty, and staff will be on hand to answer your questions.
Please arrive 30 minutes early for check-in; refreshments will be served.
