At Pacific Northwest College of Art, we believe that creativity should be nurtured and allowed to flourish in order for us to reach our full potential. We don’t just teach art, we teach students the fundamentals of creative expression and how to use that expression to make a difference.
Our students learn the technical skills needed to capture a moment, portray an idea, or express an emotion through art. With small class sizes and individualized attention from professors who are proficient in their field, our students develop a deep understanding of the tools and techniques used in contemporary art. Not only can they hone their craft, but they can also become critical thinkers with a passion for creativity.
Through hands-on classes, immersive workshops and inspiring lectures, our students explore their passions through portfolio development and exhibition discussions. Our range of courses offers something for everyone whether you’re looking for fine art classes, digital design courses or studio classes.
