RSVP for Open House

Visit campus, tour arts facilities, meet faculty and students, and learn more about opportunities offered at VCUarts. You can also visit the dorms, eat in our award-winning dining hall, and attend sessions on financial aid, study abroad, transferring, and the Honors College.

Visual artists: Don’t forget to bring your artwork with you. Faculty from the visual arts and design departments will be on hand during Open House to provide portfolio reviews. Please keep in mind that portfolio reviewers will not make admissions decisions; they give you feedback on the quality and range of your work, and give you a better idea of what else you may need to include in your portfolio.
