Business of the Year: ARTS

October 03, 2018

We're delighted to report that Pacific Northwest College of Art has been selected as the Business of the Year: Arts for the 2018 Pearl District Business Awards.

Yes, we are actually a non-profit institution of higher education, but the PDBA may not have a category for that, so we'll accept the award as-is. We're lucky to be a part of the Pearl District neighborhood in the heart of Portland that is home to most of the city's art galleries and top design studios. We feel right at home. And we appreciate the PDBA's recognition of PNCA and the vibrance we bring the neighborhood, from our 600+ students and their work in their studios, the galleries, parks, and streets, to the hundreds of free cultural programs we offer the community each year.
