​​Do you have an interest in the arts? Have you thought about attending art school, and would like to know how to proceed? Do you find the idea of a portfolio overwhelming, and aren’t sure where to start?
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we welcome you to join us on Saturday, February 15, 2020 for NSCAD’s annual winter Portfolio Day.
What is Portfolio Day?
Portfolio Day provides an opportunity for potential students to explore NSCAD’s campuses through guided tours, meet professors and current students, gain information about building a portfolio, and learn tips on how to strengthen an application.
What does the day look like?
Tours take place from 9:15-11:15 a.m. at NSCAD’s Fountain Campus (5163 Duke Street), and 2-3:30 p.m. at NSCAD’s Port Campus (1107 Marginal Road). If you’re looking to have your portfolio reviewed, you can sign up for a one-on-one appointment with a faculty member at Port Campus. You can choose to participate in the day however best suits you and come and go as you please.
There will be ample opportunities to ask questions throughout the day, as well as connect with NSCAD students, faculty and staff. For more information on how the day can best benefit you, please contact us directly (contact information below).
Do I need a portfolio to attend?
Not at all! If you don’t have a portfolio, you’re welcome to bring a few examples of your work (should you have any), or even just your questions and ideas. We welcome anyone, no matter their age, educational background, taste or lived experience, to visit us at NSCAD to find out if we’re the right fight for you.
How do I register?
If you’d like to attend in person or would like to receive more information about NSCAD through email, please contact the Admissions team by phone 902-494-8259 or by email admissions@nscad.ca, or click here to register.

What is Nocturne?
Nocturne: Art at Night is a fall festival that brings art and energy to the streets of K'jipuktuk/Halifax between 6 p.m. and midnight. The completely free annual event showcases and celebrates the visual arts scene in Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia. Nocturne, designed and planned largely by volunteers, is an opportunity for everyone to experience the art of K'jipuktuk/Halifax in a whole new light. Nocturne is a not-for-profit organization that works on building partnerships with the city and area businesses and government organizations to bring the city access to art and wonder with no barriers. Every year Nocturne works with a new curator to present a theme and Anchor Artists. 
Geographically, Nocturne takes place within Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. 
Vision Nocturne:
 Art at Night is the premier art experience in a thriving community. 
Mission Nocturne:
 Art at Night celebrates contemporary professional art in K’jipuktuk/Halifax. Through our festival and additional programming, we use art as a catalyst for connection.
When? Kick-Off Party: Thursday, October 17, 2019
            Main Event: Saturday, October 19, 2019
