Creativity Works Here: Profiles
With the CREATIVITY WORKS HERE capital campaign, PNCA embarks on a bold new venture with an effort that will transform both the College and the city.
The renovation of the 511 NW Broadway building into the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design will bring Portland’s North Park Blocks to life, igniting economic activity and expanding the energy of Portland as an epicenter of creative and design activity. It will become a vivid symbol, a powerful catalyst, of how and where creativity works: in a school, in a neighborhood, in a city, in a region, and beyond.
But PNCA is far more than bricks and mortar buildings and expanding acreage. The spirit of PNCA thrives in the minds and hands of its students, faculty, and alumni, and in the hearts of committed and visionary community members. Below, you will also find many examples of how PNCA’s students, alumni, and faculty are putting their creativity to work in the wider world.
