Founded in 1909, PNCA is a part of the Association of Independent Colleges in Art and Design and the only art and design school in Oregon. Located in Portland OR, we are a private, non profit, and regionally and nationally accredited. With 10 BFA majors and 10 minors, our curriculum is rooted in concept, research, and experimentation. We firmly believe that an interdisciplinary practice sets artists and designers up for a well-rounded art-making practice. Our merger with Willamette University provides students the opportunity to take select liberal arts courses and to connect with the community in Salem, OR.
