Meet Ringling College Admissions counselors and get feedback on your portfolio.
Each year, Ringling College of Art and Design attends National Portfolio Days around the country. These events take place throughout the fall and into January. They are free to attend and open to the public.
The event offers prospective students an opportunity to speak with accredited art and design colleges across the U.S. and beyond to get feedback on their portfolios. Representatives from counselors to alumni and faculty will give valuable feedback, share their experiences, and guidance on student portfolios. Check the official NPD website for the full list of events.
