Community Education

We design our courses around your busy lives with evening and weekend classes that can inspire you, teach you new techniques to develop your talents, and perhaps most importantly, welcome you to our community of artists and designers at PNCA.

Families grow with us, bringing their children year after year for joyful, nurturing art experiences. Adult artists forge new friendships rooted in creativity and curiosity and join us term after term. And emerging designers grow their professional networks including classmates, instructors, and visiting professionals.

Our Community Education instructors are passionate about sharing the magic of art and design with you and your family members. And we think you’ll be inspired by the best art facilities the region has to offer located conveniently in the center of Portland.
