    College portfolio prep for graduating seniors

    A focused service for high school seniors preparing an art portfolio for college applications, working one-on-one with one of our instructors to get a body of work ready for submission.

    • Portfolio review and piece selection
    • Guidance on filling gaps in technique or range
    • Application-ready presentation of the final portfolio

    This service is built for students who already have some experience and want direct feedback from a working artist, not a general course. Details on scheduling and pricing to come.
