Thanks for attending Austin Portfolio Night
The Austin Portfolio Night is an event designed specifically for high school visual artists. It is an opportunity for those wishing to pursue an education in the visual and related arts to meet with representatives from colleges accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. Representatives will be available to review student artwork, discuss their programs and answer questions about professional careers in art. High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors are encouraged to attend. The event is hosted by the McCallum HS Fine Arts Academy but is open to all students enrolled in a high school within AISD and other surrounding schools. This year, the National Portfolio Day(s) events will be held in Houston and Dallas during the Oct. 1st weekend.(The National Portfolio Day event takes place in Austin every other school year.) The Mac FAA hopes this local event will provide an opportunity for visual arts students to meet college and art school representatives in an Austin venue every other year.
What should I bring to the Austin Portfolio Night?
Your portfolio can include finished pieces, work in progress, and sketchbooks. We ask you to bring your original artwork whenever possible but digital portfolios or a laptop/tablet with access to a website may also be used. We suggest that you do not spend time and money matting or framing your work. Keep your presentation simple; the work itself is what is of interest to participating schools.
