About Northwest College of Art

In 1982, Northwest Art Center was founded by Craig Freeman, a San Francisco Bay Area artist. Northwest Art Center became Northwest College of Art (NCA) in 1987. It has remained dedicated to its focus as a professional school of art, owned and operated by a professional artist, with classes taught by professional artists and designers — NCA provides an educational experience designed for emerging artists and designers. Located on the beautiful 26-acre campus that was once the Mains Manor Estate, creating a visual delight of nature and beauty that continues to be a constant source of inspiration for the creative spirit. The college has always been a specialized school of art, beginning its journey with a small student body and a two-year certificate program. As the years went by, the college grew in size and the demand for a degree program prompted Mr. Freeman to expand the curriculum to an associate degree level. Nestled between the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, with Seattle just a short ferry ride away, students enjoy the amenities of a world class city and the beauty and inspiring landscapes that are among the very best the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Today, NCA continues its history of positive growth, offering a - DOUBLE MAJOR - B.F.A. degree in Visual Communication in 36 months. For almost 30 years, NCA has maintained its mission to educate and prepare individuals for the creative arts world. We invite you to be a part of our exciting and challenging future.
