National Portfolio Day

National Portfolio Day is your chance to learn about the nation's best colleges of art and design—this year from the comfort of home. Representatives from CIA, and schools from around the country, will be available to review your work, discuss their programs, and answer questions about creative careers.

With events throughout the fall, you can register for one that's most convenient to your schedule. CIA will be participating in these Portfolio Days, and hope to see you:

Your Portfolio

Your portfolio should include the best work you are making now; but it can also include work in progress, sketchbooks, and tear sheets, such as printed proof of your work. Do not spend an inordinate amount of time matting or framing your work, or worrying about presentation. The work itself is what is of interest.
