Greetings Youth Artists and Parents/guardians
November is here and the fall weather is chilly. Halloween was a blast and now we are ready for the day of giving thanks. Happy gobble- gobble day! We have a full month in November. Please make note of the dates.
Sunday, November 4, 2018, 12 – 4 pm National Portfolio Day at the Convention Center
What should I bring to a National Portfolio Day?
A portfolio of visual artwork that includes your best and most recent work, but it can also include works in progress, sketchbooks, and tear sheets. Don’t hesitate to explain how you develop your ideas and where you want to go with them. Often, sharing the process of arriving at the completed work is as valuable as simply presenting finished products. You will hear many different opinions about your work that will be reflective of the admission requirements of each school. Therefore, we urge you to discuss your work with as many colleges/universities as possible and to bring no more than 15 works. Your portfolio can be presented as original work or on screen, but make note wifi may not be available at all locations. Students who are not prepared to show a portfolio may attend to gather information from college/university representatives.
Three Kings Day Print Project
We are working on screen printing again this year. The Three Kings is our theme as it is a celebration held at the Taller every year. We will have a poster contest and the winning image will be reproduced to represent the event and sold in the gift store. All design due November 9, 2018, and final prints are due November 21, 2018.

The Magazine works to inspire young leaders to pursue life fulfilling careers and gives a voice to Spanish speaking youth in the US and Latin America. Presentation November 17, 2018, 3 pm.
