Houston National Portfolio DaySaturday, September 27, 2025 at 10:00 AM until 2:00 PMCentral Daylight Time UTC -05:00Map and DirectionsNorris Conference Centers - Houston/CityCentre816 Town And Country BlvdHouston, TX 77024United StatesSMFA at Tufts is going west! We're proud to be co-hosting the 2025 Houston National Portfolio Day at the Norris Convention Centers of Houston CITYCENTRE!National Portfolio Days provide an opportunity for prospective art students to meet with representatives from top colleges and universities and receive valuable feedback and guidance on your portfolio before you submit it as part of your application. When you visit SMFA’s booth, you’ll leave with portfolio feedback and an idea of how you and your art practice will fit into our unique program. Parents, teachers, and guidance counselors of high school and college transfer students are also encouraged to attend this event to ask questions and learn more about pathways available to your students. This is an educational event; no admissions decisions or scholarship awards will be offered. Due to the high attendance at National Portfolio Day events, portfolio reviews typically last about 15 minutes. To make the most of your time with admissions representatives, we recommend preparing a portfolio of 10-20 pieces that includes the work you’ve made in the last 2 years that you are most excited to share – no restrictions on medium or subject matter. You may bring original work or digital documentation on your own device.Please note: This event is free and open to the public, but registration on the NPDA website is required for entry. Please additionally pre-register on this page to indicate your interest in meeting with SMFA at Tufts Admissions for a portfolio review. Pre-registration will expedite your review process but does not constitute a reservation or advance your place in line.Loading...If you are a parent, guardian, or counselor completing this form on behalf of a student, please enter the student's information rather than your own.Biographical InformationFirst/Given NamePreferred First NameThis is the name we will use on mailings.Last/Family NameBirthdateBirthdateJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031202520242023202220212020201920182017201620152014201320122011201020092008200720062005200420032002200120001999199819971996199519941993199219911990198919881987198619851984198319821981198019791978197719761975197419731972197119701969196819671966196519641963196219611960195919581957195619551954195319521951195019491948194719461945194419431942194119401939193819371936193519341933193219311930192919281927192619251924192319221921192019191918191719161915191419131912191119101909190819071906190519041903190219011900Gender IdentityI prefer not to specifyWomanManGenderqueer/Non-binaryI prefer to specifyPlease SpecifyAre you Hispanic or Latino?
