Community Events & First Thursdays

From Campus into the Community

At PNCA, our ties to Portland’s creative community run deep and we pride ourselves on serving as a center of cultural connection. We maintain an engaged community on campus and beyond with events such as visiting artist talks, lectures, and exhibitions.

As a front porch for creative and cultural discussion, PNCA maintains a calendar of events that bring together people from different backgrounds to share ideas and inspiration. Through these events, we not only build community but continue to elevate the vital work of creatives in our society.

First Thursday

First Thursday Art Walks in the North Park Blocks are a vital part of the creative culture in Portland. 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.
