Calling all young artists! The Chicago Academy for the Arts is heading to Marwen Portfolio Day, a free afternoon where students can bring their artwork for a professional review and connect with admissions counselors from Chicago and national art schools.

This event is for middle schoolers applying to arts high schools and high schoolers preparing for art school. Students will get helpful feedback on their portfolios, ask questions, and walk away more confident about their next step. Sketchbooks, paintings, sculpture, photography, film, and digital work are all welcome.

Stop by and meet our admissions team to learn how The Academy's co-curricular model brings together rigorous college-preparatory academics and pre-professional arts training. We can talk you through what our Visual Arts and Media Arts auditions look like, and what our faculty look for. And if your portfolio is still a work in progress, that's totally alright! We're looking for potential, not perfection.

Registration is free through Marwen.
