First Thursday

Students have the opportunity to participate in First Thursday Art Walks in the North Park Blocks. By welcoming members of the community and collaborating with our neighbors in the North Park Blocks to offer public programming, we maintain PNCA’s role as a focal point for community engagement. These events facilitate cultural connection and vitalize Portland’s local businesses and craftspeople.
