Wednesday, May 6th was a jam-packed day for the Illustration seniors!
Their final portfolio review took place from 3-5PM in the Trustee’s Room and Portfolio Night followed in the President’s Gallery from 6-8PM.
An impressive group of twenty art-buying professionals from a variety of markets reviewed the work, giving advice and suggestions to each senior from their particular area of expertise.
Overall, the professionals were very impressed by the class of 2015, mentioning several times that the work was quite strong.
Following the review, the evening celebration began. The seniors moved to what quickly became a crowded President’s Gallery, meeting and greeting invited guests, family, MassArt alums, and friends.
