Experience life in the heart of Portland's art and design scene. PNCA's ArtHouse is situated next to galleries, community events, transit options, and just a short walk from our main campus.

Your Home at ArtHouse

All new students, including freshmen and transfer students, live in ArtHouse, contemporary student housing on the North Park Blocks in the arts-focused Pearl District. Designed with students in mind, ArtHouse is just a 5-minute walk from the main PNCA campus building. 

The student apartments are light-filled spaces that face the park and the city, with hallways that serve as gallery spaces for student art. Apartments are furnished and feature modern kitchen appliances and in-unit washer/dryers. The Portland Streetcar, rail lines, and bus routes are within blocks of ArtHouse, as are a variety of entertainment and dining options.
