The Philip Feldman Gallery serves a important role in Portland’s artistic community, bringing an important academic dimension to the art of the neighborhood. PNCA faculty and students have, historically, been the foundation of the visual arts in Portland, having profoundly affected the cultural life of the city for generations. The Feldman Gallery and Project Space continues that tradition. As a teaching gallery, there is also an internship program for students to help with all facets of gallery management, from curating to installation of the exhibit. The gallery program encourages artists to lecture, critique or participate in studio visits and workshops with the students. Their visit culminates with a Gallery Talk open to the public and a First Thursday opening. This program is intended to bring new perspectives and resources to PNCA’s students and faculty and to the larger community. The Gallery participates in the monthly Portland art walk known as First Thursday and in 2002 the weekly alternative paper, Willamette Week, named the Feldman Gallery, “People’s Choice Best 2002 First Thursday Stop”. PNCA is the only major visual arts institution where all exhibitions are free and open to the public seven days a week.
