Important Message Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Right now, we would like nothing more than to welcome you to campus. However, following New York State recommendations related to large gatherings and in an abundance of care for your family and ours, we have made the decision to suspend all campus visits and admissions programming until further notice.
We understand that this cancellation is disappointing. As soon as the global health situation allows, we will resume on-campus visitation. In the meantime, if you would like to learn more about our graduate programs, facilities, and community please email or view our online offerings below.
Online
We offer a variety of virtual sessions to help you make your decision and prepare for graduate studies at VPA. Our virtual sessions include a brief overview of VPA, housing options, financial aid, and time for questions.

You are strongly encouraged to register for the online platform before the National Portfolio Day event date. You may set up registration here and select the event date(s) you plan to attend. For additional information, check out the FAQs at the National Portfolio Day website.
National Portfolio Days are designed to provide a unique opportunity for you to meet individually with professional representatives of accredited colleges and universities and receive valuable feedback and guidance on your portfolio before you submit it as part of your application. Use this as an opportunity to be inspired, to gain advice as to how to improve or present your portfolio, and to experience a small taste of what it is like to attend a professional art and design program. All Portfolio Day events are free, open to the public.
