TORRINGTON >> Five Points Gallery, 33 Main Street, Torrington, invites the public to attend Portfolio Day, a free event at the gallery on Saturday, March 28. 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Representatives from the three consortium colleges affiliated with Five Points Gallery, including University of Hartford/Hartford Art School, University of Connecticut and Northwestern Connecticut Community College, will be on hand to answer questions on college programs and career opportunities. At 11:30 a.m., there will be a presentation “What it Means to Be an Artist Today.”
High school students, freshman through senior year, and community college students interested in transferring to four year schools are encouraged to attend as are adults who would like to learn more about college art programs as they pertain to career change or personal enrichment.
