OCAD University has created a unique program of day-long workshops designed to to give you the opportunity to explore new territory, build confidence in your skills as a visual communicator and get a sense of what it's like to be a student here.

Start the day in a presentation about how to build a strong portfolio, followed by the workshop of your choice designed to inform and inspire your creativity. You will either complete a piece of work to include in your portfolio or learn a new skill that will enable you to create new work. The workshops provide a great opportunity to study with professionals.

Workshops run for a full day. The cost of the workshop covers instruction and most materials. Not all workshops are available at every scheduled date.

Please note that the Portfolio Clinics are primarily designed for those who are interested in applying to a post-secondary art or design school. The curriculum of the workshops is not appropriate for students under the age of 15.

Registration takes place online and opens one month prior to the start date of the workshop.

Fee: $101.70 ($90.00 plus HST) 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Detailed information about the day will be emailed to registrants approximately one week prior to the workshop. Registration closes the Thursday prior to the Portfolio Clinic date at noon.
