Portfolio Day is an opportunity for prospective applicants to the Visual Arts BFA program at UBC Okanagan to receive advice on assembling their entrance portfolio and (or) obtain pre-approval for the portfolio requirement as part of their application to Visual Arts BFA program at UBC Okanagan.
UBC Okanagan’s Portfolio day is also a chance to talk to faculty and staff, meet and talk with current students and faculty about program choices, explore our campus and facilities, learn more about the application process and have all of your questions answered.
Prospective applicants are asked to bring 15 – 20 artworks or images, and (or) up to 3 short videos which illustrate your best work while showing the range of media you have explored. Please bring your original artwork whenever possible, including finished pieces, work in progress, and sketchbooks. You may also present your portfolio digitally on your laptop.
Starting in January, Visual Arts will also host a series of free workshops for prospective applicants of any age. Creative Day workshops are a chance to find out more about our BFA program and facilities through fun, hands on projects:
