The National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) was created in 1978 solely for the organization and planning of National Portfolio Days. The Association consists of representatives that hold regional accreditation and accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), or Substantial Equivalency status. NPDA is the only organization of its kind and the membership represents the highest standard of visual arts education available in the world.

National Portfolio Days are annual events held in multiple locations across the United States, Canada and Europe. They 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. Not all members attend all events. Visit nationalportfolioday.org for attendees. No admission decisions or scholarship awards will be offered to you at National Portfolio Days. Some college and university representatives may accept your portfolio as the visual portion of your application. Others have restrictions that prohibit them from making a definitive portfolio decision at the time of your review. All representatives will be happy to discuss their specific programs of study and provide answers to questions about the availability of scholarships and financial aid. You will not find National Portfolio Days to be an examination or competition, the events are about an exchange of information. The representatives want to learn about you, your work, and your post-secondary plans, all while informing you about their college or university and application requirements. These events may be the first time you have been in an environment with so many people in one place who all share a powerful commitment to art and design. 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.

Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show Set for November 8th - 10th, 2019
Tickets Sales Officially Open for Premier Three-Day Show and Preview Gala

Philadelphia, PA – Tickets are now on sale for the 43rd annual Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show taking place November 8th - 10th, 2019. Kicking off with a preview gala on November 7th, 195 contemporary fine craft artists from across the U.S. and 24 guest artists from Israel will exhibit and sell their work over the four-day weekend.

Held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Craft Show is produced by The Women’s Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As the biggest single fundraiser of the year for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the event brings nearly 12,000 people to the city each year and has raised over $13 million dollars over its 42-year history. Proceeds from ticket sales impact the museum’s ability to purchase works of art and contemporary craft for the permanent collection. Funds raised from the Show also help to fund education and community outreach projects, state- of-the-art equipment, and special exhibitions.

With over a dozen categories of fine craft represented from ceramics to jewelry to furniture to fiber, attendees will have ample opportunity to interact with the artists during the show, including “meet & greet” tours with artists, opening night gala and award ceremony, on-site artist demonstrations, and a fashion show. This year’s international component will feature over two-dozen guest artists from Israel. Additionally, there will be work by recent alumni and students studying at Drexel University, Moore College of Art & Design, and Savannah College of Art & Design - Jewelry Graduate Study Program.

Participating artists are selected by five national jurors representing a myriad of expertise in the art of fine craft including Elisabeth Agro, Daniel Clayman, Jane Sauer, Lewis Wexler, and Ellen Wieske. Collectively the jurors have their work in museums around the country, are curators, lecturers, studio artists, and gallery owners and serve on Boards and Committees in the world of fine craft.

Anja Levitties, Show Chair for 2019, is looking forward to welcoming the artists and the public. “This year’s show will continue our long-standing tradition of bringing the finest in contemporary craft and design to Philadelphia”, says Levitties. “We are excited for our visitors to join us over the weekend of November 8-10 as we welcome master craftspeople, emerging artists, and guest artists from Israel.”

Bryan Hopkins is one of the returning artists in 2019. As the recipient of the Best of Show award in 2018, Bryan shares, “I’m excited to bring a new series of work combining my love of modernist architecture with my passion for the historic ceramic formats of the cup and vase.”

This year’s Guest Artist Program will feature 24 artists from Israel thanks to the support of AIDA (Association of Israel’s Decorative Arts). AIDA’s mission is to foster the development of contemporary decorative artists from Israel by connecting them to an international audience of galleries, institutions and collectors.

The Army–Navy Game is an American college football rivalry game between the Army Black Knights of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and the Navy Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. The Black Knights and Midshipmen each represent their service's oldest officer commissioning sources.

The epic Army-Navy game makes its return to Philadelphia. Cadets from West Point and Midshipmen from Annapolis will square off at Lincoln Financial Field for a matchup between the historic rivals.
Traditionally played on the second Saturday in December, the heated bout often marks the last game of the season for both teams.

Each year over 3,500 gymnasts participate in the Pink Invitational and over 12,000 attendees gather in unity to honor and celebrate the lives of those touched by breast cancer. 100% of the net proceeds from the Pink Invitational go directly to caring for the physical and emotional needs of breast cancer patients in the local and gymnastics communities through Unite for HER nonprofit organization.
When long-time gymnastics coach Sue Weldon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she began searching for information on therapies that would complement the medical treatments she was receiving. What she discovered was a lack of easily accessible resources on topics like nutrition, acupuncture, massage, yoga, counseling and other ways for breast cancer patients to enhance their wellness and care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.
In 2009 Sue created the Pink Invitational~Gymnasts Unite fundraising and outreach event with the support and partnership of her gym AJS Pancott Gymnastics. Sue recognized that gymnastics events offer a unique opportunity to encourage breast health awareness among girls and young women while raising funds in support of women affected by breast cancer and their families.
The Pink Invitational unites gymnasts in a USA- sanctioned meet where athletes compete in a sport they love while supporting breast cancer initiatives and learning about the importance of lifelong wellness. Proceeds from the event enabled Sue to found Unite for HER non-profit organization later that year.
Unite for HER was created to bridge the gap for breast cancer patients, funding and delivering complementary therapies to women affected by breast cancer at no cost to the participant. Each year Unite for HER raises funds to support the Wellness Program and support women affected by breast cancer in Philadelphia region and nationwide through the HER care box program. The Pink Invitational is Unite for HER’s largest fundraising event, supporting over 60 percent of the organization’s programming and outreach.
