WCSU invites budding artists to have works reviewed by art faculty

 The Western Connecticut State University Department of Art offers an opportunity for students interested in pursuing an education in art and design to have their works reviewed by members of the WCSU art faculty during “Portfolio Review Day” from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4. The reviews will take place in Room 145 of the WCSU Visual and Performing Arts Center, 43 Lake Ave. Extension in Danbury.

Participants are invited to bring in selections from their works or a digital portfolio and will meet individually with professional artists who teach at WCSU. Faculty members will critique portfolios to provide feedback and guidance on works presented and will discuss professional career opportunities in art and design, as well as concentrations for study in the Department of Art’s Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art program.

The public is invited and admission is free. Attendance is especially encouraged for high school and college transfer students interested in the fields of art and design, as well as their parents, teachers and guidance counselors. Registration is required and should be made online at https://wcsuvpac.eventbrite.com.

The WCSU Department of Art is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. The B.A. in Visual Art program features areas of concentration in Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, Studio Arts/Painting and Studio Arts/Sculpture. The department also offers a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art.
