    We're proud to be co-hosting the 2026 Austin National Portfolio Day!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pre-register here 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. Please note that you'll also need to register for NPD events on the National Portfolio Day Association website.
