While the curriculum is rooted in fundamentals like type and composition, we encourage designers to find the right form for their message and push the boundaries of what design can be and do in the world.
The curriculum encourages hands-on learning, experimentation, and interpollenation between art and design solutions across media. Through independent and collaborative projects, we foster the development of
research, critical thinking, and creative practice skills while being grounded in design that works. Designers ask "why" at every turn of the process, emphasizing what they want the person experiencing their work to do:
We want to inspire action, to make people understand each other better. To help people connect, to empathize, to think and to feel, and to have fun with it.
The same skills that are used in great design work with clients—creating exciting visuals to sell a product or an idea, or ways to drive a brand forward in fun and visionary ways—can also be used to create community, to start conversations, or spark change.
Pacific Northwest College of Art is the leading professional arts and design school in the Northwest; we are the heartbeat of learning and experimentation in Portland’s vibrant cultural ecosystem.
We spark curiosity and sharpen skills so students can build creative careers anchored in innovation, justice and civic imagination. We believe that creative work is built in studios, labs and galleries but also in community centers, start-ups, watersheds and in the public square.
Our relationships with the other colleges at Willamette University, give our students a unique opportunity to build rigorous studio practice and experimentation alongside opportunities to connect art and design to science, business, and social justice
At the creative heart of Portland, PNCA is a center for communities of artists, designers, and scholars, presenting more free public programs and exhibitions in a given year than any other arts institution in the city. We are part of the offbeat, challenging and constantly evolving cultural scene in the Northwest.
PNCA is the front porch for the creative ecosystem in Portland. Each year we present a wide range of lectures and exhibits; offer community education courses and host everything from block parties to art fairs to community coding, making and zine events.
