WCG 2nd Annual Pre-Program Portfolio Day, November 21

WCG 2nd Annual Pre-Program Portfolio Day, November 21

This year the Washington Conservation Guild will be hosting its first Portfolio Day. Several of the North American graduate programs in conservation hold an open house to allow prospective students a chance to meet current students and learn about the curricula and entrance requirements. WCG is hosting a similar event this year, giving area interns a chance to gain insight into the path to becoming a conservator.

This informal event is an opportunity for students and interns seeking advice about graduate programs in conservation. Current graduate students and recent graduates will be sharing their pre-program portfolios and recent electronic portfolios, as well as tips on how to create an electronic portfolio.

WCG’s First Annual Portfolio Day will be on Thursday November 21, 2013 from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm in the Reynolds Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (on the F Street side of the building). All are welcome to come and we encourage established professionals to come support the area’s emerging professionals as well.

Please RSVP to interns@washingtonconservationguild.org if you are interested in attending.
