A group of talented student-artists from The Storm King School traveled to Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Convention Center on Saturday, November 5, to attend National Portfolio Day. The New York City event, organized by the National Portfolio Day Association and hosted by the New York Academy of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), is one of the nation’s largest portfolio days. At the event, representatives from accredited art colleges and universities across the nation and the world were on hand to review the students’ artwork, discuss programs, and answer questions about creative and professional careers.

SKS Visual Arts Chair John Carruthers accompanied the group which included Charlotte J. ’23, Linda L. ’23, Fernando M. ’23, Laura H. ’23, Aitana G. ’24, and Sandy C. ’23.

According to Mr. Carruthers, the annual event is “a great opportunity for students interested in attending art school to see what college expectations are like. Everyone came well-prepared to meet with the college reps and receive valuable feedback on their portfolios. Many of the students also asked great questions about the application process and courses of study to prepare for careers in the arts.”
