Canada · Fall 2027 deadline; department instructions still label Fall 2026
Brock Studio Art letter of intent and portfolio
Brock's Studio Art applicants submit a short letter explaining what motivates their creative work and which art practices they want to study. The letter provides context for a separate digital portfolio of 6–8 works and an image list. The department page still gives a Fall 2026 portfolio deadline, while Brock's central admissions page lists February 1, 2027 for Fall 2027 portfolios.
Writing format
Letter of intent of up to 300 words and 6–8 original portfolio works
What to prepare
- 1Identify a particular material, question, or making process that drives your work, then explain what you tried in one portfolio piece.
- 2Connect that practice to why you want to study visual arts at Brock, rather than describing every image in order.
- 3Use the letter to clarify work that might need context, such as an experiment, collaboration, or change in direction.
How to approach the writing
- Stay within 300 words and keep the separate numbered image list aligned with the 6–8 submitted works.
- Apply for admission first, then follow the department's current delivery and file-format instructions for the portfolio package.
Before you submit
Brock's central 2027 deadline list says February 1, 2027, but the department page still names February 1, 2026 and email submission instructions. Confirm the Fall 2027 portfolio route and deadline directly before sending files.
