ArtPlay NextGen:
Visual Arts Portfolio and Theatre Audition Symposium for High School Seniors

Sat, Aug 29 10:00 am - 1:30 pm

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.

ArtPlay NextGen is designed to empower emerging artists with expert feedback, networking opportunities, and actionable resources to help them thrive in college auditions and portfolio reviews. This symposium is 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—advance registration is required.
