On October 3, the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design will be holding our 2026 Undergraduate Preview Day in Ann Arbor. Prospective students and families will learn more about our programs and community, take a tour, meet our people, participate in portfolio reviews, get swag, and more! Lunch will be provided.

Location

The Stamps School of Art & Design is located in the Art & Architecture Building (2000 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor MI 48109-2069) on the University of Michigan’s North Campus.

Parking

Parking for visitors is available in U-M Parking lot NC-43 (2109 Fuller Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105), located directly behind the Art & Architecture building and accessible from Fuller Road. Permit parking is not enforced in this lot on weekends, so Open House attendees are free to use any available Blue parking space free of charge.

From this lot, you’ll climb a large set of stairs to enter the building from the back entrance, where you’ll be greeted by Stamps students and pink banners. Click here for a map of the building that shows where we’ll be meeting.

Accessible Parking

A small number of accessible parking spaces are available next to the Art & Architecture building. To reach the accessible parking area, keep right directly after turning into the Art & Architecture lot from Fuller road, then follow that right fork past the main lot and up to the building. Two hourly parking spaces open to all visitors, along with two spaces reserved for vehicles with state-issued plates or tags, are available on the east side of the building before you pass the entrances.

Additional parking is available in U-M Parking lot NC-27, behind Stamps Auditorium on Murfin Rd. This lot is a short walk from the front entrances of our building, and may be a good option for anyone who’d like to avoid navigating the stairs from the Art & Architecture lot.

Agenda

You’ll learn about the application process, engage in a Q&A session with Stamps staff and current students, and tour our studio spaces. Prospective students who selected the portfolio review option during registration will receive an informal portfolio review from a member of our team. A light lunch will be provided.

Please stay home if you are sick — do not come to campus if you are ill. Instead, please utilize our virtual programming and campus tour options.
