The National Portfolio Day Association sponsors events across the nation—they are a great way for you to learn more about SMFA, meet with faculty and staff and get feedback on your artwork.

College Fairs are free events that provide an opportunity for prospective students to talk to SMFA Admissions Representatives. Attendees can learn about what courses are offered, college life on campus, admission requirements and financial aid. Students can ask questions, pick up printed materials about the school and request additional information.

We also visit high schools and colleges across the country each year. Contact us at 617-369-3626 to schedule a visit to your school.
