Registration Deadline: the last Wednesday of February

http://www.wou.edu/las/creativearts/art/PortfolioDay_registration.pdf

IMPORTANT: Only applicants who have applied and been accepted to WOU are eligible for these scholarships.
Students who have applied but not yet heard back from admissions are still encouraged to attend Portfolio Day and may be awarded a scholarship once they have been accepted.

When: The first Saturday of March, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (We will call you to arrange individual
appointments once we receive your registration form. If you want to request a particular time slot, register early!)
Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled meeting time.
Where: Campbell Hall Room 104 Park in parking lot F and walk east between the tennis courts and Maple Hall (barn shaped building with open timber design) and enter Campbell Hall through the back door. Campus Safety will be notified not to ticket guest cars that day. While you are here, we encourage you to tour the art building and visit the exhibition at the Cannon Gallery of Art.
Who is eligible: High school seniors and college transfer students who will be attending WOU next fall as art
majors are eligible to apply. Students currently taking classes at WOU are not eligible for this particular scholarship.
Award Amounts:
Four $1,000 renewable scholarships will be available for art majors entering Western in the fall. Incoming freshmen receiving scholarships may renew their scholarship, if they meet all criteria, for up to three additional years.
Transferring students may renew the scholarship once, for a second year of financial assistance.

How to Apply:
1. Send in the attached registration form now to let us know if you will be coming in person or, for those who live too far away to attend in person, you will be sending an absentee packet, instead. We prefer the first option!
2. Select seven to ten pieces of artwork that reflect the breadth of your creative work. We prefer works created from direct observation or imagination rather than those copied from photos. Be prepared to talk about the assignments and decisions you made while creating the work.
3. Those attending Portfolio Day in person should have flat works (drawings, paintings, original prints or graphic designs) matted or protected with tracing paper or newsprint coversheets hinged with artists tape from one edge of the work. Ceramics and sculptures are also welcome and require no special preparation. Large, unwieldy pieces or pieces that can not be transported (wall murals) may be represented with high quality digital printouts or photos, but please bring at least five actual works in addition to photos.
*Applicants who live too far away to apply in person should refer to the bottom of the next sheet for details on absentee applications. Mailed absentee applications must be postmarked by the last Friday of February
to be considered for this round of scholarships.
