Our Vision
Photographic Center NW (PCNW) facilitates creation, conversations, and sharing of significant photography. Through our certificate program in fine art photography, exhibitions, and an array of public programming we foster dialogue in the region through the global language of today.

Our school serves students of all levels with a full range of coursework in film and digital media, and a rigorous certificate program encompassing theory, aesthetics, and technical mastery. The Photo Center provides its students and the community with resources that include gallery spaces, darkrooms, studios, a digital lab and library. Through exhibitions, lectures, scholarships, and outreach projects, the Photo Center provides access to the photographic arts, to professional and amateur photographers, and to the public at large.
