About the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies
The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA is the result of a historic 15 million USD gift to PNCA, the largest single gift ever made to an Oregon cultural institution. At the time Hallie Ford made her unprecedented gift, she wrote in a statement that it reflected her desire, “to see a globally recognized center for visual art and design education located in Oregon.”
