PF/PCA’s mission is to support artists and advance artistic excellence in the visual arts. We're a community-based, NASAD-accredited institution that offers year-round credit and non-credit courses, access to equipment and studio space to artists, a regional residency program for artists, a regular exhibition program, a robust screening program that includes an annual film festival, and sales of work by our artist members in our on-site shop. Annually we serve 100,000 individuals of all ages.
