About LIAFA's Portfolio Development Program

The LIAFA Portfolio Development Program is a weekly class given by Program Director, James Daga Albinson or Instructor, Leeanna Chipana. The program was developed for serious young artists aiming to create competitive portfolios for art-school and college admissions and scholarships. In the past students have garnered many thousands of dollars in scholarship monies from some of the nation’s finest schools. Each week, students will bring their portfolios to class and will have them evaluated and receive new assignments as they work. Each student will receive a special portfolio review by Program Director & College Placement Specialist James Daga Albinson and during this evaluation attention to designing a specific course of action according to the student’s portfolio needs, skill level, and time constraints will be made. All aspects of the college-application process will be discussed, from college selection to information on documenting portfolios and presenting them to college-admissions officers. Call James to schedule your portfolio review.

Get the Scholarships you deserve.
At LIAFA  90%  of this year’s graduating portfolio students received scholarships averaging over $50,000 per student.
