Art Portfolio Workshops & Intensives

In addition to our one-on-one coaching, we offer intensive portfolio-building workshops throughout the year. These programs are designed to help students strengthen their portfolios in a focused, collaborative environment - ideal for application deadlines, creative breakthroughs, or summer planning.

Each workshop is guided by Dr. Nell Daniel, former Director of Admissions at Parsons School of Design, and Trustee of RISD for two terms.
