The Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) is a private fine art and design college in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. Established in 1909, the art school grants bachelor of fine arts degrees and graduate degrees including the master of fine arts (MFA) and master of arts (MA) degrees. It has an enrollment of about 500 students. PNCA actively participates in Portland's cultural life through a public program of exhibitions, lectures, and internationally recognized visual artists, designers, and creative thinkers. Thomas Manley serves as the school's president. The college has ten Bachelor of Fine Arts concentrations: Animated Arts, Communication Design, Illustration, Intermedia, Painting + Drawing, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Video + Sound, and Writing within four majors: Design Arts, Media Arts, Studio Arts, and Liberal Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pnca.edu/programs/bfa/c/majors )〕 The college also offers graduate programs including: a mentor-based MFA in Visual Studies, a Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies, an MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research, an MFA in Applied Craft and Design, an MFA in Collaborative Design, an MFA in Print Media, a Post-Baccalaureate residency, and an MFA in Applied Craft and Design, offered jointly with Oregon College of Art and Craft. PNCA also provides continuing education in art and design to the local community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://cereg.pnca.edu/ )〕 ==History== Founded in 1909 as part of the Portland Art Museum, the school was originally known as the Museum Art School with Anna Belle Crocker serving as the head of the school. After the Pietro Belluschi designed home of the museum opened in 1932, the school moved into the upper floors of the building. In 1981, the school changed its name to Pacific Northwest College of Art in order to reflect its independence from the museum.〔 The independence was solidified in April 1994 when the college formally split from the art museum and was incorporated as a legal entity distinct from the museum.〔 In 1998, the college moved to its present campus in Portland's Pearl District.〔 PNCA hired Thomas Manley in 2003 as president of the institution, replacing Sally Lawrence. Manley proposed a plan to the school's board in 2004 to expand the college and move towards Portland's North Park Blocks.〔 This plan received a boost in 2007 when Hallie Ford donated $15 million to the school.〔 The school purchased the building housing the college in 2008, and also that year was given the 511 Federal Building by the federal government as part of a surplus building program.〔 In 2009, the then independent Museum of Contemporary Craft moved into the DeSoto Building, which drained the museum's finances.〔 This led to PNCA loaning the museum money, and to a partnership and possible merger.〔 In 2012, the school announced they would centralize their programs in Portland's Old Town at the 511 Federal Building.〔 PNCA opened their first residence hall in August 2013 at a cost of $7.3 million, called ArtHouse. As part of its move to the Old Town area, the college sold its main building in the Pearl District in 2013 for $11.75 million. The school secured $20 million in loans from the Portland Development Commission in November 2013 to fund the renovations. Renovations were completed in January 2015, with classes starting at the new campus in February 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Northwest College of Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
