It is not an examination or competition but an exchange of information, with no admission decisions or scholarship awards offered on the spot; some representatives may accept a portfolio as the visual portion of an application. Visitors should bring up to 15 of their best and most recent works, which may be original or on screen, and the event is free and open to the public, with students not ready to show a portfolio welcome to attend and gather information.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/new-york-city-graduate-national-portfolio-day-88292/", "official_url": "https://event.newschool.edu/nycgnpd26", "image": "https://noky.io/images/2a360be992e653277f6da566491f6cb7ebf98140d93798a785cdc4224b7d0ad9-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-08T12:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-08T16:00:00-05:00", "place": "Sky Ice", "address": "5th Avenue 63, 11217", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Art and Design Transfer Fair", "start": "2026-11-11T12:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-11T15:00:00-05:00", "place": "LaGuardia Community College", "address": "Thomson Avenue 31-10, 11101 Long Island City", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["art/design", "society/education"], "description": "The Art and Design Transfer Fair is a college event for students considering a career in art and design.
