ArtPlay NextGen: Visual Arts Portfolio & Theatre Audition Symposium
High school seniors preparing for college in the visual arts or theatre performance are invited to join us for ArtPlay NextGen, a hands-on symposium featuring expert feedback, networking opportunities, and practical resources.
This symposium is designed to help emerging artists with expert feedback, networking opportunities, and practical resources to thrive in college auditions and portfolio reviews. It’s a supportive space for growth, creativity, and connection.
During this 3.5-hour experience, students will rotate through portfolio or audition review stations led by college faculty, professional artists, and industry specialists. The day also includes a networking lunch, opportunities to meet peers and mentors, and a closing reflection designed to boost confidence and celebrate progress.
Participants will leave with:
- Personalized feedback on their work
- Insight into what colleges look for
- New connections with artists, educators, and fellow students
- A resource packet with audition tips, portfolio guidelines, and scholarship info
Capacity is limited to ensure individualized attention—please register in advance. Registration Close Date: August 25, 2026
