The PAFA Office of Admissions understands that not all prospective students can meet with us in person here in Philadelphia. To meet the needs of as many potential students as possible, we travel around the country—and to Canada—each year to attend National Portfolio Days, Graduate Portfolio Days and NACAC Performing and Visual Arts Fairs. We also visit high schools and community colleges.
This summer we will be visiting with prospective students at the following graduate school fairs:
Wednesday, June 22, 2011: New York City
New York City Idealist Graduate Fair
Location: Fordham University, Lincoln Center
Pope Auditorium, 113 West 60th Street
Time: 5-8 p.m.

Thursday, June 23, 2011: Washington DC
Washington D.C. Idealist Graduate Fair
Location: American University
Katzen Arts Center, 4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Time: 5-8 p.m.
www.idealist.org
Check back with us in late August for our complete Fall 2011 travel schedule. We hope to see you at one of our events—or here in Philadelphia!
