Students are invited to join members of the UVic Department of Visual Arts at the Legacy Gallery for a portfolio review session. UVic instructors and current students will be on hand to answer any questions students may have about how to prepare an effective portfolio for application to our program.
Date: Saturday, December 3rd
Time: 1-4 PM
Location: Legacy Art Gallery (view on map)
*Registration Required* (students register here)
Portfolio Requirements:
– Applications to the UVic Visual Arts program are entirely digital, so please bring images of your work on a tablet or laptop. Do not bring images exclusively on your phone as the screen is too small to provide feedback.
– Small items (under 20 x 24 ‘’) may be brought in person if they are easy to transport.
– Maximum of 15 images
During your visit, we invite you to spend some time with the Piers exhibition and see what some of the faculty, recent graduate students, and others associated with the Department are doing. Piers is a group exhibition showing contemporary artwork ranging across media by 18 artists spanning generations, nationalities, and backgrounds, exploring how artists’ practices change through teaching, learning, and mentorship. If you know any students who you think might be interested in this opportunity, please feel free to share this information forward. Any questions about the Portfolio Review can be sent to legacy@uvic.ca or reach us via phone at (250)-721-6562.
