Evanston Art Center Portfolio Day 2026
Portfolio Day is a chance for local students to connect with art college admissions teams, get information, and/or have art portfolios reviewed before applying to colleges and universities. Portfolio Review & Informational Meetings are 10 minutes each and require registration in addition to the general event registration. To view the full Portfolio Day schedule, visit the Evanston Art Center website.
Students will have a chance to meet with representatives from Art Academy of Cincinnati, College of Creative Studies, Loyola University, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Northern Illinois University, Ohio University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), Stamps School of Art & Design, University of Michigan, University of Illinois Chicago: College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts, and University of Illinois Urbana – Champaign.
To get started, register for Portfolio Day, reserve your limited spot for meetings with representatives from art & design colleges, and review the online guides to “What should I bring?” “Who will be there?” and “Where is the EAC?”
