Today is National Portfolio Day. It’s a day of the year when representatives from art colleges and universities meet with prospective students and provide them feedback, pros, cons, what to include in their portfolios, and what not. Whether to expect grants and other admissions-related advice. Each student is given at least 15 minutes of time. The photo shows just one twentieth of the space and the crowds. Many people, many colleges. Interestingly, here they almost never talk to parents at any educational institution for any reason. It’s as if they don’t exist. It’s your application – they talk to you. And today, many came with their mothers, but neither moms nor dads get noticed.
