MECA participates in a number of college fairs, career days, regional portfolio events, and National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) events throughout the United States and East Asia.
These events are an excellent opportunity to have your portfolio reviewed provide an opportunity to speak with a MECA admissions counselor to learn more about the classes, residence halls, studio facilities, and life at Maine College of Art. We would love to meet you!
At all Portfolio Days, the events are first-come, first-served, so there is no need to schedule a time.
If you are able to come to MECA for a portfolio review, we encourage you to do so. For more information or to schedule your on-campus portfolio review, please contact the Office of Admissions at 207.699.5026 or 800.699.1509. You can also email us at admissions@meca.edu.
