Welcome to the National Portfolio Day Association
The National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) was created in 1978, solely for the organization and planning of National Portfolio Days. The Association consists of representatives from regionally accredited colleges and universities, which are members of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. The NPDA is the only organization of its kind, and its membership represents the highest standard of visual arts education available in the United States and Canada.

All Portfolio Day events are free, open to the public and do not require pre-registration.

The list of colleges participating at a specific National Portfolio Day are maintained by the host insitutition and are not available on portfolioday.net.
