Portfolio Reviews

2024 Virtual Portfolio Reviews

Schedule your virtual portfolio review.

WHAT TO INCLUDE

Your portfolio should contain:

• 10–20 examples of your best original work from the last two years
• Should express who you are as an artist
• Should illustrate the breadth and depth of your artistic endeavors,  highlight your ideas, technical skills, conceptual abilities, and your particular talents
• Your portfolio can include work in any media

Don’t yet have a complete portfolio or still have some works in progress? We’d love to see where you’re at and give you feedback to continue building your portfolio. Remember, this is all about you. We look forward to reviewing your portfolio.

If you are applying to our Art History program, a portfolio is not required.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Prepare to have your video on and be ready to talk about your selected works. You will have a one-on-one meeting with one of our eager admission coordinators from the Hartford Art School admission office. 

HOW TO SCHEDULE AND SUBMIT YOUR PORTFOLIO

You can register by selecting an open date (those in green) on our calendar and a time that you’d like to meet. If you don’t see a date or time that works for you, please email us at artschool@hartford.edu and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

If you are a senior with a complete portfolio, click here to upload your work on SlideRoom. This is the platform in which we will be able to review your work.

If you are a senior with a portfolio that is in-progress or a junior, please email us jpegs or a link to your Google drive with clear images of your work.
