Prospective Students: Visit VCUarts
Visit campus, tour arts facilities, meet faculty and students, and learn more about opportunities offered at VCUarts.
Fall Open House dates include Portfolio Review Sessions with faculty from the visual arts and design departments. Portfolios are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please keep in mind that portfolio reviewers will not make admissions decisions; they give you feedback on the quality and range of your work, and give you a better idea of what else you may need to include in your portfolio.
Don't forget to bring your portfolio of work with you for the Portfolio Review. We will have VCUarts faculty on hand to give you feedback on your work. Portfolio reviews are not part of the application process - they are simply to provide feedback.
If you are unable to attend Open House, visit campus on a weekday for a VCUarts tour.
