This year's in-person event will be held on Saturday November 5, 2022 from 11am to 3pm. 

If you are thinking of pursuing a post-secondary education in art or design, you will likely have to include a portfolio of your work, as part of your application. The National Portfolio Day events provide students with a unique opportunity to meet one on one with professional representatives. These reps are there for you to ask questions about their programs, and most importantly, get feedback on how to improve your portfolio so it will be a successful part of your application.

For further information, please see the website:  https://www.kpu.ca/2022NationalPortfolioDay
